Hackers gear up for month of MySpace bugs

Posted on by Eric Brooks

You know what the problem is with h@x0rz? They have the same mentality as your run-of-the-mill Middle Eastern terrorists. They TRULY believe deep down inside that they are the “good guys” and whatever collateral damage they cause is totally justified. *eyeroll*

Given, it’s an insult to call most MySpacers “retards” (An insult to mentally retarded people, that is), buuut….

Striking a blow against Web monoculture, or News Corp., or something

News and Gossip

Comic Books to Soldiers in Iraq – “We have a ton of overstock back issues that will never sell in our store. Our customers don’t generally buy back issues. They buy the trades.Regardless of your stance on the War or your politics in Washington, there are Soldiers, Marines, Airmen, and Sailors stationed overseas that are just like you and me. They are our friends, brothers, sisters, moms and dads, and they should have comics.”

I couldn’t agree more. It’s little gestures like these that show the men and women in our military that we love ’em and appreciate all they do. The idea was cooked up by A Comic Shop’s owner Jason Blanchard who served our country honorably for 6 years. He hopes other comic shops will follow suit and we all spread the word. Way to go, Jason!

Happy New Year, Jerks!

Posted on by Eric Brooks

Well now… let’s get my “Comeback Tour” started right, shall we?

2007 - Year of Mischief
  • Problem Adults got a STORE now! Buy all sorts of twisted gear for all your Problem Adults needs. (And don’t forget to pick up our Hot Steamy Calendar available next week.)

  • Still have room for more friends on my Official MySpace Page…. ADD ME.

  • Feeling the need to kick the shit out of some ignorant people… check out my latest rant: “An Inconvenient Pack of Morons” in my SoApBoX section.
  • And remember… I’m running for President. (And I did NOT have sexual relations with my half-sister!!!) 😀

It’s 10PM. Do you know where your malignant websites are?

Posted on by Eric Brooks

Ever use Anonymizer on MySpace? Besides the anonymous surfing, it serves to filter out known malignant websites…. many of whom serve ads there.

You may recall back in July when a malignant ad affected millions there, and Tom urged everyone to upgrade their flash player?

Check this out…

A box ad blocked by Anonymizer
Here is the message that Anonymizer gives you:
Warning!
The site you are attempting to access has been flagged by Anonymizer’s Malicious Site Filter. Anonymizer blocks many sites used for spyware, viruses, spam robots, phishing scams, and other privacy violations.If you understand that Anonymizer has indicated that this site is dangerous, but you would like to see the page anyway, please select one of the options below.We strongly advise that you do not visit this site.

Hmmmmm….

Tower ad from bulletins page... BLOCKEDBut that’s not the only place this is happening. Some ads go through and some don’t. Here is another screenshot from tonight. A tower ad on the bulletins page was blocked. Certain Leaderboard ads on top has been blocked as well.

  • Rockstar: Supernova
  • Mates1
  • Classmates.Com
  • Webalize.Com
  • Insweb.com


    • Are all ok and show, but the others are being blocked by Anonymizer for some reason.

    Could be something serious. Could be nothing.

    I certainly have no problem with MySpace collecting information with cookies (I believe it’s in the TOS I agreed to.), but anonymizer doesn’t just block ads or sites for little or no reason.

    Does this mean several ad servers have been blocked by Anonymizer? Or is it the ads themselves? Is there still a threat of malignant adware or trojans being transmitted? Is this just part of the business of what they do to give their customers “free” service?

    I don’t know, but it certainly doesn’t hurt to ask….

    Do you want a lot of MySpace friends really REALLY fast?

    MySpace MegaWhore contest!

    Do you have a MySpace page?
    Do you want a LOT of friends?

    MySpace is down

    Posted on by Eric Brooks

    HAW! HAW! What else is new?
    There was a power outage in L.A. on Saturday, they’ve been under constant malicious hacker attacks (one which Tom urged everyone to upgrade their Flash Player.)

    Shit happens. I’ve had sites down for days. It gets ugly! But there’s nothing you can do about it. If you ask me, they wont be back for a few days (if anything, expect intermittent service)…

    So me? The opportunistic bastard that I am… I’ve decided that I am taking advantage of Technorati’s 2nd biggest search query to say one simple thing….

    JOIN PROBLEM ADULTS!!!!

    MySpace stupidity

    Posted on by Eric Brooks

    I’m kinda following a few MySpace blogs*, and reading some of them as they go on vitriolic tirades about “fakes”… it’s kind of inspiring me to throw in my thoughts on this (hardly new) phenomenon.

    So look for that soon in a SoApBoX near you.
    VIVE LA FAKERY!!!!!

    When I find time to write it of course. Being gOdOfMiScHiEf and living a quadruple life ain’t as easy as it looks, you know.

    PS: * Yes LiveJournals are still banned here. Screw you guys!

    World AIDS Day 2003

    Posted on by Eric Brooks

    Quite frankly, I always seem to miss “World AIDS day” every year. Not that I think AIDS awareness is unimportant (quite the contrary). It just seemed so “trendy” and “the thing to do” with bloggers back then. Now that the posts have dwindled down on the web… I think I can be my usual “untrendy” self and make a mention as the message of awareness and debunking the myths and stigmas needs to be circulated.
