Forget the C4 cake – now this is insane. Hackers claim to have gained access to the manuscript for Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows. Their reason:
We did it by following the precious words of the great Pope Benedict XVI when he still was Cardinal Josepth Ratzinger. He explained why Harry Potter bring the youngs of our earth to Neo Paganism faith.
So we make this spoiler to make reading of the upcoming book useless and boring.
Yeah, that’ll work. Because no one throughly spoiled would ever want to read the actual book. Judge for yourself: The ‘spoilerific’ Potter link is here, with the maybe spoilers and such. In brief: Possible spoilers in the last link. And no, I will not be making a HP spoiler graphic. Well, maybe after the fact, if someone asks really nicely.
Scholastic: “Consider this one more theory.”
The whole concept of “hackers for Jesus” boggles my mind.
Wait, they used the Pope’s interpretation of the books’ message to hack into a computer with the manuscript on it? I don’t see how that would help. Is this one of those “Step Two: A Miracle Occurs” things? Or am I reading it wrong and that was their reason for the hacking? (Either way, they’re dumb.)
You just aren’t attuned to Cardinal Ratzinger’s secret code, Sunnyskywalker. He’s really a leet haxxor, and hands out cracking tips to the faithful in his proclamations. Now that he’s Pope, the secret tips have gotten even better; his recent “Guidelines for the Pastoral Care of the Road” will actually let you steal the scripts for all of next season’s Heroes episodes.
Ah, for the good ol’ days, when hackers didn’t need a reason to be jerks…
