Secret Service gloats online
This made me laugh: http://www.shadowcrew.com/
Instead of just shutting down this website, which allegedly was used for "trafficking in stolen credit card numbers and unlawful transfer of identification documents," the US Secret Service took a different route: replacing the images and text with a message of their own -- along with the "Hawaii 5-0" theme song.

It's good to know they have a sense of humor.
PS: Did you mean the Mission Impossible theme song?

Nice to know I won't be getting any more shadowcrew spam.
There is no best host. There is only the host that's best for you.

Appalling
That is just utterly appalling - maybe this has been going on for a long time and I've never gone looking for it, but that thread is just utterly awful. I don't really understand why the US secret service (presuming their message is for real) left this online.

That's pretty classy, though if I were the Secret Service, I just would've put "Pwn3d by t3h f3dz" up...

Wow! If that's for real, the secret service really should get a better web designer.

I don't believe for a moment that this is, in any way, the work of the United States Secret Service.
