From Fark:
“Security firm: We’ve taken down the top leaders of Anonymous.
Anonymous: Err, no you didn’t. And here’s over 9000 company emails.”
This story kind of reminds me of the original ninja turtles comic where the turtles throw a guard right through a window into a room where the Shredder was trying to convince a customer that his security company was top notch.
This quote from a hacker from Anonymous is particularly funny: “You have blindly charged into the Anonymous hive, a hive from which you’ve tried to steal honey. Did you think the bees would not defend it? Well here we are. You’ve angered the hive, and now you are being stung.”

From Youaredumb.Net:
“The consensus behind the climate change bill collapsed and then further deteriorated with the personal and political collapse of Vice President Gore.” – Illinois’ new senator, Mark Kirk, explaining why he now opposes climate-change legislation.
“Hm. The personal and political collapse of Al Gore, eh? So climate change was a serious issue until… something happened to Al Gore. Now, what could have happened to Al Gore politically and personally lately? I mean, he lost the election in 2000, but that’s ancient history. I suppose Kirk could be referring to “Climategate” – the fact that the whole phony scandal has been thoroughly investigated and debunked doesn’t actually matter, after all – but Al Gore wasn’t involved in “Climategate”. Even if you associate them via the common issue, it’s hardly a political collapse.
Which leaves only one thing. Mark Kirk doesn’t feel the need to regulate carbon or get off of fossil fuels because Al Gore got a divorce. Time to update the We’re All Gonna Die By pool and change the odds on “drowning”. Thanks, assholes!”
