I'd like to point out a wierd hacking attack - [View all]

Yesterday i posted a link to a photo of Trayvon Martin and his family from this Scopes page:

http://www.snopes.com/photos/politics/martin.asp

The link worked fine yesterday, but todauy waht you see on my post is a big green Yuck face. I went back to Scopes, and the photo is still there, but if you try to link to the photo, you get a Yuck face.
