John McCain's MySpace Page "Pranked"

Posted by kdawson on Tuesday March 27, 2007 @08:51PM from the careful-who-you-leach-from dept.

Several readers let us know about a little problem with presidential hopeful John McCain's MySpace page. Looks as though some staffer didn't read the fine print of the "credit" clause when selecting a template for the page. The template author and CEO of Newsvine, Mike Davidson, noticed this and didn't care too much. But the McCain page was pulling an image from Davidson's site, costing him bandwidth every time someone visited the candidate's MySpace page. So Davidson changed the image in question to read: "Today I announce that I have reversed my position and come out in full support of gay marriage... particularly marriage between two passionate females." Here is Davidson's account of the "immaculate hack".

Discrimination on attire is still wrong.

Awesome straw man. Fortunately, shirts and shoes have been tested on humans for thousands of years and have conclusively been found not to cause horrible side effects. So put some on, already, and stop whining.
