On A Lighter Note: Stephen Harper Eats Babies

[cali]

Why hasn't some clever hacker done this in NY or DC? My compliments to the Toronto hacker.

TORONTO (Reuters) - A mocking announcement about Canada's prime minister, "Stephen Harper Eats Babies," was flashed on electronic advertising signs on Toronto area commuter trains for several days, and technicians were still scrambling on Tuesday to get the signs fixed.

"Stephen Harper Eats Babies. Stephen Harper Eats Babies. Stephen Harper Eats Babies," started to appear every three seconds across some LED screens late last week. The signs usually carry transit updates and advertising spots.

"It appears that this was a case of electronic vandalism," said Stephanie Sorensen, corporate communications and media specialist for the GO Transit commuter system. "We assume it was a hacker. We haven't identified the person who did this but we're working closely with the contractor who runs the signs to fix the problem."

2. LOL, well, it shows we Canadians do have a creative sense of

humour. Now, when it comes to moving quickly on things, it seems to be a different story..."flashed on electronic advertising signs on Toronto area commuter trains for several days...", I guess the commuters enjoyed it too much to report it, lol.
