Now, I’m not sure if anyone here is overly familiar with the web-based community 4chan, but basically it’s an image-based forum where gawky teenagers hang out and swap their favourite slabs of hentai and cosplay while pretending to be interested in Japanese pop culure. It has also been largely responsible for the inexplicable popularity of lolcats, rickrolling and Tay Zonday’s Chocolate Rain. It is, in short, a force for the ceaseless corruption of the internet. Just like furbolgs.
But they’re not content to stay quiet anymore. Oh no. Now they’re getting involved in the gangsta rap wars. A little over a week ago, a group of people purportedly hailing from 4chan, seized control of Soulja Boy’s Myspace and demanded $2500 to regain control of it. That’s right, $2500. Ouch. Maybe they all wanted to buy rollerblades so they could be a little more like the hackers in that movie Hackers. It won’t work fools, real hacker girls don’t call themselves ‘Acid Burn’ and look like Angelina Jolie! They call themselves Beatrice and look like this! But I digress.
Not to be talked down to by any regular ol’ honky, Soulja Boy refused. At which point the ‘hackers’ altered his Myspace so it featured a declaration of his homosexuality, told his fans to go fuck themselves and posted up his Youtube and email passwords. Burn. Fortunately this whole saga has a happy ending because a week down the track and his label has managed to reclaim all his accounts for him, freeing Soulja Boy to issue a video explaining the whole affair:
“Niggas sent me a message on MySpace saying I got your shit, send me $2500 if you want it back,”
Fascinating. Please Soulja, do go on.
“I texted back saying f— you, bitch, do what you do, the mother f—er got to be f—ed up. And then after that he deleted all my shit and I was like well darn the nigga wasn’t bluffin.”
What a charming anecdote, Mr Boy. YOUUUUUUUUUUUU truly are the life of the party. Pray tell, do YOUUUUUUUUUUUUU have any others?
…YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
Awesome.

i’m pretty sure they rollerblade rather than skateboard in the movie hackers. which of course makes it all the funnier.
