Westboro Baptist Church site hacked

[Asita]

Well that's probably the most productive use of hacking I've ever heard of. Good on him for taking the high road after assuming control of the site.

It's a nice jester on his part

When I first glanced at your post the words "God Hates Oklahoma" jumped out at me, and I thought, "Oh, that must be what the hacker(s) changed the site to say".

More fool me.

I wonder why he's so upset with that state? It's weird because God sent them all those tornados except they haven't legalized gay marriage.

What? Isn't it obvious?[footnote]On the off chance that anyone doesn't know how to take this: Yes, the following is intended as satire[/footnote] For starters, if we switch the first and last letters of the state name and then get rid of the first four we get 'homo', which is obviously intended as an endorsement of homosexuality. Additionally, someone who came out recently has a connection to Oklahoma. The abbreviation for Oklahoma is OK, meaning that they're OK with that. Tossing a simple substitution cipher into the mix we also see something absolutely chilling. O = 15, K = 11. So the proper abbreviation is 1511 in number form. 5 is obviously the odd man out and thus presents itself as the key to the puzzle. As such we have to remove that digit from the number, leaving us with 111. Then by adding the key of 5 to each digit we get...wait for it...666! This is clearly evidence of demonic influence! I mean I don't see how anyone could miss these obvious connections I totally didn't just make up *shifty eyes*

This made my fucking day. Thank you.

I still can't believe these people are still around. 4 of Fred Phelp's children are already estranged from him, which means that even kids who were raised and indoctrinated to believe all of this hatemongering bullshittery can tell that WBC is crazy. Props on the Red Cross hack, but now I really want to watch Red State again...

This is very, very awesome. That hacker has a special place in my heart from now on.

Just out of interest, can Westboro a) fix it themselves given the fact that they seem pretty backwards, and b) if they ask someone else to do it for them, what's the likelihood of someone actually doing it?

I wouldn't normally condone hacking, but props to Jester. It was tasteful.

The Jester? Well, I can safely say that I get the joke.

 

[Lunar Templar]

not normally a fan of hackers, but this? this i approve of.

As a Christian this is awesome, WBC is the dumbest insult and cult that claims to be Christian. Good on you, Jester, may your hacking endeavors toward WBC be ever so fruitful.
