What was the point of that? You even left "by dmg" on at the end, you fucking moron, making it totally obvious that it's a cut+paste troll! Not that most of us haven't seen it before anyway.

Get back to being an 'elite hacker' on 'IRC' and stop bothering us here at slashdot, numbnuts.

Toy firm's fury at sex website

Norman Silvester Exclusive

SICK images showing Lego characters committing rape, torture and murder have been found by police probing internet sex crimes.

The toy firm vowed to take legal action last week to close a website which shows their figures in lurid poses based on Bible stories.

Lego moved after discovering the "Brick Testament" site is popular with paedophiles for its graphic scenes, including child abuse.

Police forces in Scotland and England have found links to the website on computers seized from alleged paedophiles. It shows a girl having sex with her father and a man stalking a woman before raping her.

A Tory councillor in England is under investigation over allegations he downloaded child porn and had links to Brick Testament.

Six council workers in Wales are facing the sack for circulating sick email images from the website of toys having sex.

Lego say they are appalled by the site and have instructed lawyers to shut it down.

Brick Testament is the creation of controversial US artist and musician, the self-styled "Rev" Brendan Powell Smith, 29.

As part of Operation Ore, police across the UK are hunting 7000 suspected paedo- philes who have accessed pay-per-view child porn websites. Many of those investigated have had links to Brick Testament.
