Just tried to load the NY Times web page and got an otherwise blank page with one line that read: "Hacked By SEA". Apparently just got hacked by the same morons that hacked the Washington Post recently.......

Now the page is down.

Not loading here either. Frankly, some people need better hobbies.

Hm. Interesting:

Sometimes things aren't what they appear, but sometimes they are. The "Syrian Electronic Army" took down the New York Times today, and attacked Twitter and HuffPo UK. The Times has more on how it happened.

Ah, the SEA. If this were the 1930s, I'm pretty sure those guys would be sporting swastikas and calling themselves the Hitler Youth.

Hey, it still worked for Hank Azaria in "America's Sweethearts" (his character should go down in history as the most annoying "hispanic" ever :P )
