Breaking on HuffPo!! Bill O'Riley is gay!!
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/01/05/twitters-hacked-bill-orei_n_155302.html

A flurry of high-profile Twitter accounts have been hacked, most prominently the Fox News account, which has declared that Bill O'Reilly is gay.

Fox News' Twitter posted an update, since deleted, Monday morning announcing, "Bill O Riley is gay."

CNN's Rick Sanchez, a prominent Twitter user, was also hacked. His malicious tweet read, "i am high on crack right now might not be coming to work today."

Britney Spears's Twitter also fell victim, with hackers announcing that her vagina is "4 feet wide with razor sharp teeth."



Al Franken is elected and now this!

1. Interesting that some think that being gay is an insult.

5. I actually don't think that was intended...
In O'Lielly's twisted mind "being painted as gay" would be an insult. The prank prays on his irrational fears and bigotry.

I sort of like the prank on Sanchez, though, I gotta admit....:evilgrin:

9. Indeed. When I was informed at one time I was rumored to be gay, I could only wonder why ...
Edited on Mon Jan-05-09 02:09 PM by TahitiNut
... I'd even care about such a perception. It seemed to speak more to the biases and bigotries of those who'd think it offensive -- or even anyone's business. I guess the only situation where that would concern me would be if that was the perception of some gal with whom I had some interest or relationship. Even then, I don't know that it'd argue well for her that she thought it of any merit or validity.

Strange. :shrug: I tend to file that alongside the claim that Obama is a Muslim.

23. It's an insult to Bill O'Reilly.
You could call me gay all day long and it wouldn't matter because I wouldn't be insulted. I don't care if people think I'm gay. Doesn't matter to me.

Bill-O on the other hand...

2. Good thing they didn't say he was black, or a woman.
'Cause then that would've been super-funny.

28. Almost as hilarious as suggesting that Ann Coulter is a man. Real top-notch humor.
Sometimes I wonder if half of DU is six years old. I get this image of 1st graders sitting around sniggering at bathroom jokes.

3. And people wonder why we can't get Gay Marriage to pass in CA,
when we use Gay as a derogatory term for people we dislike.

4. So, what's wrong with being Gay?
Bill O should embrace his gayness and go with it.

7. Nothing unless you are the hypocritical bigot known as O'Lielly
(or several other similar worthless bits of human DNA at Faux News)

10. I've never heard him deny it
You'd think if he weren't, he'd've denied it by now. Y'know, like his buddy Limpballs never denied his penchant for oxycontin-buzzed, viagra-fueled pederasty.

Since they've never denied it, it must be true. I mean, it's all on the innernets, idnit?

:rofl:

14. Putting aside the discussion of Loofa boy's sexual orientation
The real issue here seems to be that Twitter is not only fucking lame in the concept, but even lamer in its security.

Which makes it all the more ironic that the Israeli government was using Twitter as a tool for spin control on their Gaza massacre recently. Thought their technology geeks were smarter than that?

17. What's Israel's twitter handle? It'd be a hoot to follow them.
Edited on Mon Jan-05-09 02:36 PM by NYCGirl
Not as much fun as John Hodgman though.

ADDED: Anna Marie Cox has been twittering from the RNC Debate — and she is hysterically funny.

18. I think they were actually using the name "Israeli Consulate"
I saw this on TV the other day (either MSNBC or CNN) so I'm hoping they at least verified it was actually the Israeli government, but who the hell knows with the media anymore?

26. The Britney thing made me LOL.
It's bad enough that Al Franken is going to be announced the junior Senator from Minnesota but now someone's running around saying Billo has teh gay. I'm thinking it's a bad day to be on his staff at Fox news today.
