After a crazy week of celebrity deaths (Michael Jackson, Farrah Fawcett, Billy Mays, Ed McMahon), one hacker decided it would be funny to hack Britney Spears’ Twitter account and pronounce her dead as well. 

The update read:

“Britney has passed today.  It is a sad day for everyone.  More news to come.”

Attached was a photo of a cross.

More news: this tweet is FALSE.

Thankfully, the tweet was removed from the social networking site soon after it was posted.  Apparantly Ellen DeGeneres’ and Diddy’s accounts were also hacked with fake death accouncements. 

Twitter needs to get their security under control!  Death is not funny no matter how you look at it. 

Now, don’t get me wrong, making it isn’t simple, but the time and work required to finish it will make it that much more rewarding to use.  Plus, what could be more awesome than leaving your outgoing messages using the auto tune you just made?  When you’re done, send us samples of what you’ve been able to come up with!

The good people who run this site have a disclaimer at the top of the section, just in case you thought you were checking out odd jobs in your area or something.  The disclaimer goes a little something like this: postings may be explicitly graphic and/or not at all funny.  Craigslist staff doesn’t necessarily chose what goes up in this section – viewers nominate posts.  And yes, someone actually posted this sh*t.

Some of my favorites (that are p.c. enough to post on this site – believe me, they get pretty graphic on Craigslist, so don’t say we didn’t warn you!) will be posted weekly.  This week’s article:

The Streaker Tripper:

I was streaking through the Diag Friday night at 2:15 am. Coming around the corner of State and Liberty, fast as a naked blur, I bumped into you and we both fell to the ground. I was a little upset with you at first, cuz I scratched my right butt cheek pretty bad, but I knew it was my fault. You said, “Nice New Balances,” And all I could say was, “Thanks,” with the adrenaline still rushing. In less awkward circumstances, I would have liked to talk to you. I had never run into a girl that fast or naked before… I didn’t know how to respond so I helped you up quickly and kept running. Since my friends paid me $100 for making it to Kerrytown with just my socks, shoes, and a big smile, I’d like to take you on a date. You looked pretty fit so maybe you’d like to go for a run sometime. Hit me up! Bye!

Bored or just need a little pick-me-up?  Go read a few Best-of-Craigslist entries.  I promise you won’t be disappointed!  Maybe a little grossed out though.  Or offended.  But then again, you might just stumble across the funniest thing you’ve ever read.  

So all in all, totally worth it.
