Hacking John McCain
I'm sure heads rolled at McCain Campaign Headquarters when one of the staffers used a template designed by Newsvine Founder and CEO Mike Davidson. Mr. Davidson gave the template code away to anyone who wanted to use it, but asked that he be given credit when it was used, and told users to host their own image files.
Except, McCain’s staff used the template, deleted the credit to Davidson, and then hotlinked images from his server, meaning he has to pay for the bandwidth used from page views on McCain’s MySpace.
So: a little switcheroo and.... instead of McCain's contact information, the following statement appeared:
Today I announce that I have reversed my position and come out in full support of gay marriage…particularly marriage between two passionate females.
Now, how much fun is that you ask? Well, I can tell you from personal experience, its a lot of fun.
And you thought MySpace was just for kids...

It couldn't have happened to a more deserving phoney, Kudos to Mike Davidson.
