McCain Space

by Kieran Healy on March 27, 2007

John McCain’s “MySpace page”:http://www.myspace.com/johnmccain “borrows” Mike D.’s page template and also hotlinks to images on his server. So he “makes a few changes to them.”:http://mike.newsvine.com/_news/2007/03/27/633799-hacking-john-mccain

This is one of the more awesome things I’ve read today.

Indeed! (But right now there is no image loading under “contact me” – the ephemeral beauty of the best pranks…)

Yeah lane, but you’ve got more cred than me — don’t you run the Canadian iTunes store?

That is the best response to bandwidth theft I’ve ever seen.

What explains the failure of the mainstream media to cover the purge scandal for so long, and so many other scandals?

I dunno, maybe because almost all the mainstream media was bought up and amalgamated into the possession of a relatively few rich and powerful individuals who are quite happy with the recent trends in the US?

I dig the part at the bottom where it says “Discuss Election 2008 at Newsvine.com”, having read that as “new swine,” pronounced with a German or Slavic accent.
