Daily Wail Memejackers pwned

bag o' spanners

For those of you who blinked and missed it, it was a gif substition by a miffed site owner who felt that his bw was being abused by the Daily Mails direct linkage on its late to the memeparty article.

The substituted gif was a flashing text which stated:

"Daily mail somehow thought it would be morally ok to hotlink to a 3.5MB gif from a struggling startup whose detitute creator can barely afford rice and beans.

Don't they have their own fucking CDN they can use?

Shame on you Dailmail"

All in lovely 30 point caps.

It took their admins a couple of hours to twig that it wasn't a hack, before they replaced the page, then took the whole thing offline. Weekend night rates for the web wonks all round.

I doubt that I'm the only person who saved a copy of the page in all its glory "for future reference"
