Hackers Assault Epilepsy Patients via Computer
OFN?
Funny?
I laughed

 

[Psyc]

pokemon did it first

 

[Black1ce]

hillarious


great idea

 

[Teratos]

OFN but still interesting.

 

[Grief]

That just seems kind of fucked up.

Circumstantial evidence suggests the attack was the work of members of Anonymous, an informal collective of griefers best known for their recent war on the Church of Scientology. The first flurry of posts on the epilepsy forum referenced the site EBaumsWorld, which is much hated by Anonymous. And forum members claim they found a message board thread -- since deleted -- planning the attack at 7chan.org, a group stronghold.

What a surprise

 

[Xcursion]

I am an evil person for laughing at this.

 

[skysnipe]

[DemonKyoto]

This is cruel...goddamned hilarious, but cruel

 

[Voxx]

Am I the only one who can't get into 4chan? I go there and its just a bunch of pictures with people posting about them. I don't get how they start these wars and shit.

 

[sashimi]

Semi-OFN, but funny nonetheless.

 

[JuggerNaught]

thats fucked up..I would skull fuck someone if I knew they did that

 

[Darkstrand]

I hope those hackers end up punished.

This is cruel...goddamned hilarious, but cruel

I think you might be using one of those words incorrectly. I am really struggling to work out how you might find something both 'cruel' and 'hilarious'. surely it's one or the other?

 

[Radioactivenemesis]

I don't find that funny. I would like to think that most people wouldn't.

 

[JDizzle4Rizzle]

I find it fascinating. I mean, it's pretty hard to actually inflict pain over the computer.

bzzt, wrong. it's hilarious regardless of who anybody knows that happens to be epileptic.
