reddit be hackt, yo!

reddit headerUnless the “IAUP VIOLATOR” title is one they wear proudly.

Test it yourself: go to reddit.com and look at the header image. Instead of its usual friendly, literate alien, you’ve got a couple of incestuous-looking aliens with some rather emphatic text above them. IAUP, by the way, stands for Internet Acceptable Use Policy. The hacked image is meant to imply that reddit does not abide by basic internet standards.

Is anyone taking credit for this yet? Leave your breadcrumbs in the comments section, please!

UPDATE: reddit be not hackt. Reddit be self-mocking. This is an improvement; now if we could only get them to stop lol-ing and get fixing things.

  1. Having recently posted an article which calls my Prime Minister a terrorist, don’t be surprised at anything which emanates from my blog – even Shoggoths on the Roof!

    Fhtagn!

  2. Our Prime Minister is more fascist that yours – he is a fascist terrorist (hmmm – I’ll have to find a way to rephrase that – too much “ist”ing!)

  3. Nah, terrorists are underdogs. Our PM snubbed Bono…and then every paper in the country came out with editorials saying we’d rather have Bono in charge! Just before breaking for the entire summer, Stephen Harper and his robot army voted that, as the government, they are no longer subject to Canadian law.

  4. Yikes! Has he been taking lessons fro the Shrub?

    On a slightly deeper note, looking at the events of the past 50 years, do you feel that Democracy, as a form of Government, is dying? That the kingdoms and dictatorships of past millenia are resurfacing, albeit with different titles but the same function, after a 200 year experiment begins to unravel?

  5. hi rain!

    it’s me shomoshor!

    this is not exactly related to this post. but um, i found no suitable post where i could post this, and this is the closest i could get to hitting the bull’s-eye.

    reddit, digg, furl etc etc……….you do all the cute buttons under the post yourself, right?
    i read in a forum post.

    i thought u might benefit from this link.
    http://www.tagtoolbox.com/
    you have to submit the url of the post and paste an html code under the post and get all those buttons automatically. the buttons are not individually linked, but the site does have like 50 social bookmarking sites and your reader can choose one in a new window!

    i hope this helps. :lol:
    if not……..sorry! (gulp!) :(

  6. Thanks, no worries. I prefer to use it the way I have, if for no other reason than I’m lazy and so are lots of other people. But thanks for the suggestion.
