McCain's MySpace site gets punked
Someone on Presidential hopeful John McCains staff is going to be in trouble today. They used a well known template to create his Myspace page. The template was designed by Newsvine Founder and CEO Mike Davidson (original template is here). 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.McCains staff used his template, but didnt give Davidson credit. Worse, he says, they use images that are on his server, meaning he has to pay for the bandwidth used from page views on McCains site. Davidson decided to play a small prank on the campaign this morning as retribution. Since hes in control of some of the images on the site, he replaced one that shows contact information with a statement: Today I announce that I have reversed my position and come out in full support of gay marriage particularly marriage between two passionate females. Screenshots at the link. (Not those kind of screenshots. Get your mind out of the gutter!) Posted by: Mike 2007-03-27 |
