Time Magazine Throws Up Its Hands As It Gets Pwned By 4Chan

[Are_grits_groceries]

The hackers of 4Chan have succeeded in completely gaming Time Magazine’s online poll for its Time 100 list of the most influential people on the planet. At the top of the list is Christopher Poole, aka Moot, the founder of the 4Chan online forum, whose members used some coding to get his name to the top of the list. Not only did they help moot win the poll, but they also arranged the next 20 names to spell out “Marblecake, also the game.” Marblecake is a lewd sexual reference, but is also supposedly the name of the chat room where one of 4Chan’s online collective actions, Project Chanology, originated.

3. I'm not sure about that.

However, whatever they are doing, they certainly weren't paying attention to say the least. Here's an article about how they did it.

6. And there are still A-holes who seriously want Internet Voting intstead of public elections.

Support the election integrity organization of your choice, who is fighting Internet Voting especially those working on the state or local level.
