John McCain’s MySpace Page gets pranked for hotlinking.

Via Malkin.

Hotlinking is evil, immoral, and fattening.  Doing this kind of thing to hotlinkers has become one of my minor hobbies.

Some are saying that his myspace page was "hacked."  It was not hacked.  He was linking to a graphic hosted on another site which he did not have permission to link to.  Therefore, he was stealing bandwidth.  This is hotlinking.  The graphic was replaced with a different graphic that was given the same name.  All action took place on the other site that he was improperly linked to.  Nothing happened to his own site, so it is not "hacking."

This is the proper way to deal with bandwidth thieves.
