BAM! In Your Face, Commie - Fat People Posted by Jeff (Tuesday January 24 2006 @ 07:23PM EST)

Myspace is an internet community similar to blogger. Users create profiles and chat about the same inane stuff we chat about here. The service allows you to associate an image with your profile. One myspace.com user decided to use the image on the right. Unfortunately, he didn't steal it. He linked to it. Each time a myspace user browsed a page on which he posted, they pulled this image from my server. In other words, he wasted my bandwidth not their's. Months ago I wrote to myspace.com and requested they pull the link but requests kept coming to my server again and again. So I wrote an apache rule to deny access to the image for any referal but BDA and Google. It didn't matter. For the last six months I've been sending 403 - access denied to myspace.com. Today I explained the situation to MattC. I told him I'm gonna find the biggest, hairiest man-ass on the Internets and swap it in for the picture on the right. Each time a myspace.com user views Jerry's profile, they'll be greeted with a whopping black hole. This may surprise you, but MattC already knew about the the biggest, hairiest man-ass on the Internets. He told me about Goatse. (That link won't get you fired). Tonight I wget'd the image down to my webserver and swapped it in for the image on the right. I didn't care to view the image but I did want to verify its disgusting nature. If wasn't big, ugly, hairy man-ass, then the whole exercise was wasted. (17:44:50) Jeff: hey, tell me if this is disgusting (17:44:51) Jeff: http://blogdayafternoon.com/images/stories/0405/jerry.jpg (17:55:53) Monz: YES!!! (BTW: The image above WILL get you fired) Success! Our myspace.com user's profile was just viewed more than a hundred times since I swapped the images. How much time passes until those requests finally stop? My guess: A couple hours from now. EPILOGUE: Monz has fun and I nearly barf... (18:24:18) Monz: I'm gonna send the link to Diana. she's working on her laptop (hee hee) Later I sent Monz a myspace.com page that I parsed from the access logs: (18:45:52) Jeff: EEWWW!!! IT IS FSCKING DISGUSTING!!!! (18:48:26) Jeff: did you see it on myspace.com??? (18:49:13) Monz: yes UPDATE: censored screen captures (no nudity) Peter's Power Blog Ruth's profile on myspace.com Free Republic Trick's Tutorial Did you check out my hep Abe Vigoda Firefox extention? Yeah, god dammit, he's still alive...

CK tells me about a similar hoax perpetrated on the Nazis by the folks at Jewlicious. They have screen captures...

Bravo! Bravo! I did that once, but it was much tamer. More tame? Either way, I made a button that said something along the lines of "I'm a thief! Look at me! I'm a thief stealing other people's bandwidth!" It was removed shortly thereafter. I prefer the manus, though. Ha. "Manus". I own that word, now, ok?

Hey, you must be some kind of cheap person to worry about loss of bandwidth. GoDaddy can solve your problem if you're just so worried. That junk about bandwidth is so 70s on the net. Anyone with a welfare check has moved up to a real provider who offers serious bandwidth. Get over it.
