I like a good online prank as well as the next guy, but this is just plain sick and wrong.

There was also the issue of the TV show in (I think) Japan where a whole lot of kids had seizures brought on by the special effects.

I would have no qualms about beating the vinegar out of the douchebag who hacked that site. Then I'd post the vid on youtube, facebook, myspace and the epilepsy site. |
