If the threat of terrorism isn’t enough, now we have to be on the lookout for anti-American messages via Twitter. In an article at BBC News it appears that “a group calling itself the Iranian Cyber Army has hacked Twitter and an Iranian opposition website, replacing it with an anti-American message.”
I was wondering why, in between my ‘Tiger Woods Mistresses Versus Majors’ tweets and my “30 Rock” recap tweets, there were these unusual messages. According to the article, “This site has been hacked by the Iranian Cyber Army… The message, written in confused English, said the hackers had turned the tables on the US, who they criticize for sanctions on Iran.”
Has it gotten to the point that 140 word limit tweets can turn a person’s thinking of the US? After all, the “hackers had turned the tables on the US.”
Just to make sure, I wanted to check into this:
“OK, I’m finally going to see “Avatar.””
7 minutes from Dave
“And yet another hooch has come out saying she slept with Tiger Woods.”
14 minutes from PGA Golf Pro mpickelson
“HA HA, now we will send our messages of anti-Americanism your way via the popular networking site Twitter. See how inconvenient this can be –“
17 minutes from Iranian Cyber Army
“I’m pooping.”

“when you get a notice that a new tweet is on your phone or from one of the people you are following. You will be wondering who this is from –“

“Went out to dinner at Taco Bell. Saw George Lopez eating chimichanga!”
28 minutes from CarrotTopFan!
“is it from Tiger Woods Mistresses Versus Majors or from Bill from Omaha telling us that he just got off the plane and it is s-s-s-s-snowing.”
32 minutes from Iranian Cyber Army
There you have it folks. How annoying this can be. I can’t wait to see what they come up with next.
