Lulz

“Anonymous is Legion. Anonymous does not forgive. Anonymous does not forget.”
Ummm…Anonymous
I’m not sure if any of you are down with this, but the interwebs are powerful. I’d recommend that you read more about Scientology. I won’t even bother to get into some of the things I’ve come across. I will say this though…you do need to read about Operation: Snow White…you thought the pulpit pimps being tax exempt was bad, oh yeah Scientology has it’s exempt status now despite all that went on. Anyway…Anonymous is fricking beautiful. I always laugh at adults that say young people need to be more computer literate…mind you not all of these cats are “kids”, but they’ve done some things that most of the adults I hear this from would have no clue about. Besides their beef with Scientology the have put out alot of info and even taken down some people. Remember that whole High School Musical nude photo drama? Well Anon made sure it got out there (by repeatedly posting the pictures until MSNBC picked it up…that’s when you heard about it), when Disney’s forums claimed they were fake. Not impressive? How about this:
“On December 7, 2007, the Canada-based Toronto Sun newspaper published a report on the arrest of the alleged Internet predator Chris Forcand. Forcand, 53, was charged with two counts of luring a child under the age of 14, attempt to invite sexual touching, attempt exposure, possessing a dangerous weapon, and carrying a concealed weapon.[11] The report stated that Forcand was already being tracked by “cyber-vigilantes who seek to out anyone who presents with a sexual interest in children” before police investigations commenced.[12] A Global News report identified the group responsible for Forcand’s arrest as a “self-described Internet vigilant group called Anonymous” who contacted the police after some members were “propositioned” by Forcand with “disgusting photos of himself”. The report also stated that this is the first time a suspected Internet predator was arrested by the police as a result of Internet vigilantism.[13]”
And then there is this:
On the real though…despite the general depravity and…lulz that the internets boil down to. The page on Scientology has alot of actual information…and lulz. You can check out one of their bases of operation here. Check it all out…matter of fact goggle anon vs. scientology and read some of the news articles, then go back and read the Citypaper one. If anything these dudes are showing what the internet can really do. If you know anything about how Scientology likes to sue the living hell out of people…this is the best way to go about doing anything to them…and anyone else who sucks.
Wow! Now I have homework to do on Sunday since you’ve tickled my interest mode.

I think I was one of the few that caught the Tom Cruise South Park episode on Comedy Central. Hilarity.
As for anonymous, I knew nothing about it. I was reading Invisible Man on the train this morning so reading your post feels like a deja vu moment.

Is this the same group that did the youtube video threatening Scientology?
I think they’re scary. But, so is Scientology, so I guess the groups make a good couple.

that anon group is scary to say the least, hopefully their antics remain benevolent.
