- dinobot, on 05/08/2008, -39/+248What do you do when an epileptic has a seizure in the bathtub?
Throw in your laundry. - orientis, on 05/08/2008, -29/+233That is *****. Absolutely *****. Wouldn't it be hilarious if one of the site users swallowed his/her tongue during a seizure and died? What a hilarious prank. As funny as hitting babies with hammers.
- inactive, on 05/08/2008, -4/+201Which Japanese kid cartoon intro's did they use?
- txchica, on 05/08/2008, -24/+209Not funny. I've had patients have seizures and it's scary. The last thing you want to do is laugh.
- pmctosh, on 05/08/2008, -16/+171Now that's just a touch twisted don't you think.
- theYevvin, on 05/08/2008, -15/+140OMG h4x0rz are attacking people!! The effects of this are overstated
"Of all persons who have been diagnosed as epileptic, between three and five percent are known to be of the photosensitive type."
I am one of these people.
The highest viewed sticky on this forum only has 2300 views. Normal views on normal topics is in the 0-100 view count. You do the math on how many people this even potentially affected.
Also, as a photosensitive epileptic who uses the computer, I always expect the the next thing I click to have have flashy images. I've been caught by banner adds on digg, so go be moral somewhere else. - degron, on 05/08/2008, -16/+122OMG hitting babies with hammers is so ***** funny. Not quite as funny as babies in a blender though.
- HonestAbe, on 05/08/2008, -3/+92Didn't this happen like a month ago?
- syl1985, on 05/08/2008, -20/+99What ***** *****.
- inactive, on 05/08/2008, -15/+93She sells seizures by the site hack.
- jordanmerle, on 05/08/2008, -2/+77Dude, I actually laughed out loud reading that in my Animal Rights class as the teacher was talking about the conditions in slaughter houses. Needless to say I claimed that it was a seizure.
- spearce, on 05/08/2008, -21/+95then why was it the first thing i did when i read this article? my emotions confuse me...all i want to do is love.
- gldfshnpcklejar, on 05/08/2008, -4/+63That's not funny my cousin died from laundry.
- twistx, on 05/08/2008, -3/+62Really? We're calling these people hackers now?

- apophenic, on 05/08/2008, -19/+69This is SO OLD.
- brad3378, on 05/08/2008, -42/+90That speaks volumes about the kind of person you are.
- staeiou, on 05/08/2008, -12/+56They weren't hackers, they were 4chan. And it wasn't a hack, it was a forum invasion. Still doesn't make what happened right - in fact, it is worse, as they had to get hundreds of people to participate in this.
- spearce, on 05/08/2008, -8/+51babies with hammers!! pics or it didn't happen.
- Shawn4168, on 05/08/2008, -0/+42I didn't want to, but I laughed. Damn you.
- spearce, on 05/08/2008, -4/+45zing
- identitymatrix, on 05/08/2008, -6/+46Excuse me, but, exactly how the ***** is this hacking? Now anyone that knows how to make a hyperlink is called a hacker? What's next? Are we going to call anyone that knows how to click on a hyperlink a l33t hacker?
I'd call it vandalism, or just kids being stupid idiots, or some kind of malicious behavior. It's very likely that the security hole that was exploited was already found and documented by security professionals, and the forum admin was just maliciously incompetent.
Oh, and why are epileptic people using the internet? It's ***** full of flashing banner ads and pop ups and all tons of ***** and anything can happen. If you don't want to see flashing stuff go back to listening to the radio and reading the newspaper. - inactive, on 05/08/2008, -1/+40I bet it wasn't a pencil.
- Spoomeister, on 05/08/2008, -3/+37How dare you come here, with your real-life experience and your math and your practicality. I came here for a perfectly good thread contrasting empathy from internet tough guys vs. insensitive jokes from morons!
- honeymustardn, on 05/08/2008, -1/+33They didn't hack the website, they spammed a bunch of images on their message board... Read the article. The writer obviously is misinformed.
- apophenic, on 05/08/2008, -5/+36Some people moralize endlessly. And that's just wrong.
- degron, on 05/08/2008, -38/+69I know it was wrong but it made me lol too.
- SaintDogbert, on 05/08/2008, -2/+32Probably Battling Seizure Robots.
Warning, May Cause Seizures: http://www.starterupsteve.com/seizurebots/ - noupsell, on 05/08/2008, -8/+38that's just plain ***** up
- Nero9171, on 05/08/2008, -30/+60***** you *****. I dont care if I get dugg down, what you said is messed up.
- inactive, on 05/08/2008, -3/+33NSFE
- theragu40, on 05/08/2008, -10/+36Ok, I don't usually shout "OLD",but seriously, didn't this first get reported over a month ago?
- krellor, on 05/08/2008, -8/+33So, uh, what's the difference between a Ferrari and a pile of dead babies? I don't have a Ferrari in my garage. Ba-dum Ching.
- Raptor007, on 05/08/2008, -3/+26SHOOT IT IN THE FACE!!
(This joke works best if you shout the punch-line at someone.) - kahakauai, on 05/08/2008, -4/+26I was under the impression that swallowing your tongue was *****?
- chanop, on 05/08/2008, -0/+22Thanks for that, my co-workers just had to put a pencil in my mouth to keep me from swallowing my tounge
- inactive, on 05/08/2008, -5/+27I thought you were going to end that with "an angel gets its wings"
- Huangism, on 05/08/2008, -7/+28the last thing i wanted to do is laugh but it was the first thing i did
- doctechnical, on 05/08/2008, -1/+21My uncle died in a concentration camp.
He fell out of his guard tower. - GorfTron, on 05/08/2008, -2/+22Did they post the trailer for speed racer?
- Stupidumb, on 05/08/2008, -1/+20Why would anyone want to be a database tool?
- accessviolation, on 05/08/2008, -1/+20from parent... "Of all persons who have been diagnosed as epileptic, between three and five percent are known to be of the photosensitive type."
- krellor, on 05/08/2008, -3/+22astland27 you fail so hard it hurts. He just said about 3-5 percent of epileptics are the ones bothered by the flashing images. Holy ***** I don't know how to read batman.
He also said that at most the average thread gets about 100 views, tops, with the exception of the popular stickies. So, lets say that the thread got 50 views. This would mean at most about 3 people who are photosensitive would have seen it, statistically speaking. - gn0stik, on 05/08/2008, -2/+19That's a real toungue swallower... err... twister.
- y3rt, on 05/08/2008, -3/+20oh god why can only digg up once . . .
wait, Animal Rights Class? - doctechnical, on 05/08/2008, -2/+18What's the difference between a truckload of bowling balls and a truckload of dead babies?
You can't unload bowling balls with a pitchfork - yojiffyskippy, on 05/08/2008, -3/+19/*cheezy voiceover*/ "Save an epileptic's life, use adblockplus"
- stretch611, on 05/08/2008, -1/+17That reminds me of the old Far Side comic... You see 3 alligators standing around a big tub of water. The caption reads "Bobbing for Puppies." In one of his later books, Gary Larson mentioned that he got a lot of hate mail from that comic. Afterward he decided it was a good thing that he did not go with his original idea of "Bobbing for Babies."
- bankrobbery, on 05/08/2008, -16/+31I'm sorry, but every time an epileptic has a seizure, they can die.
