How? I clicked it and all it did is bought up some disturbing images of arnie on another tab on my browser, I closed said tab and was back! Was expecting an uber-rick roll style browser hijack and having to use task manager!

A rather bizarre image of Arnold Schwarzenegger's head pasted onto some cheerleader's bodies, with another busty Arnie with his foot on Bill Clinton's head.

Entitle "Washington is Hollywood for ugly people".

Very surreal. Dunno why it was removed though.

Hmm, not on mine, click OK when it say something about Rupert Murdochs myspace, and everything is fine

If you're at work you might have some protection from crap such as was posted earlier.

Or use Chrome, I guess. Didn't have a problem with it here at home.

Sorry, link was posted in good faith of being harmless? I just thought it was a bit crazy. Is it malicious?

Me neither. Got the Arnold Schwarzenegger/Hollywood crap, and a box popped up to go to Rupert Murdoch's Myspace, which I closed ?

Come on PH, I was at least expecting something like 1 girl 2 dozen golf balls ?

Concerns noted.

Next time we get abuse reports in complaining that links are hijacking computers, instead of:

(a) Deleting all reference to the links, including all the posts from people complaining about it on the thread and quoting the link. banghead

(b) getting the PH Techs to check out the link for any virus issues

(c) take the link poster to one side for a chat, pending the result of b.


We'll take another route.

(a) Ignore abuse reports and the risk to PH members.

(b) crack open a beer.
