This Guy Hacked John McCain’s MySpace

Mike D., cofounder of Newsvine, hacked John McCain’s MySpace page and made it say the presidential candidate changed his position on gay marriage “particularly marriage between passionate females.” Funny. Read about how and why Mike did it.

COOL [ Tue Mar 27 2007 3:04 PM ]
Mike D. didn't "hack into" McCain's site, but just changed images that McCain was using on his myspace site off of Mike D's server.. That's the the ultimate, "legal" hack!!

He calls it "hacking." [ Tue Mar 27 2007 5:01 PM ]
It's in his headline. But I assumed there had to be something else going on, since the real thing doesn't seem to be the kind of thing you'd want to advertise.

Mike D explains it pretty well in his article [ Tue Mar 27 2007 5:52 PM ]
But it's slightly technical, a little boring to explain, and isn't as immediately cool as "hacking". The McCain people were lazy and used the images directly off Mike D's server. So he punished them.

Remember: A Vote for John McCain is a Vote for The Dark Underbellied Devil in Bloodstained Boxers!!! [ Wed Mar 28 2007 10:27 AM ]
McCain let draft-dodging, blackout drunk, coke snorting male cheerleader George W. Bush paint him as the crazy vet you COULDN'T TRUST to win the primary. AND THEN McCain stands right by the president WHILE HE LIES TO US ALL yet McCain remains (to this day) a party devotee. That takes a real creep. Trust in that.

And just so all you Right Wing BB Brains don't get all bent, Kerry was just as pathetically worthless for not standing up to the draft-dodging, blackout drunk, coke snorting male cheerleader George W. Bush. The Bush that, in order to win the presidency, painted Senator Kerry as a crazy vet who might not have honestly earned his medals for anything honorable while actually serving in Vietnam. Kerry should have torn off his Brooks Brothers shirt to show off his bullet holes during the debates. Maybe then the US of A wouldn't be stuck fighting an un-winnable war or have an economy driven to tears by trillion dollar deficit. Trust in that.
