I wasn't able to get on Newsvine all of yesterday so I was relegated to wading through ten pages of Technorati links about the McCain Myspace Incident to get my Newsvine fix. You were covered in at least 4 languages and the WSJ did a little blurb on this as well.

Mike - Look what you've started:
Though this is kind of funny, but also undeserved and while what Mike did was warranted and in good fun, this is kind of spiteful, I feel. And riding coattails of a funnier joke. Just my opinion though.

Well, I was covering two issues - the fact that staffers are apparently clueless about this old internet and need to be kept on a tighter leash (better they find out now than in 2008), and playing along with the meme at artisresistance.net (that's a longer debate, to cut a long story short, I succeeded well on that one either way)
Mike's joke was in good taste -- this second hijacking is completely without taste, and unoriginal at that.
"completely without taste, and unoriginal at that"
Exactly! Tasteless and unoriginal is the best description I have heard so far of this circus that we call electing a president. Mind if I use that?
"so I guess we're B.F.F. now"
bahahahahah, internet classic

#7 - Thu Mar 29, 2007 11:26 AM EDTListening to the serious female voiceover with "...two passionate females..." is the single funniest thing I've experienced all year.

Having seen how local news can sensationalize, misrepresent and otherwise butcher simple news stories would have made me think twice about participating.

#9 - Thu Mar 29, 2007 2:47 PM EDTIf I understand correctly, McCain was using a file from your server without attribution and you changed the file on your server. Tremendous. I love it. What a temptation it must have been to put something truly earth shattering on there, though the "passionate females" was a stroke of genius. But couldn't you just see yourself through to:
McCain admits he is gay.
I'd still be laughing at that one.
