    Someone must've been quite bored, though not enough to make up a decent story (hardly worth posting about, but eh, just saw it and am almost as bored).

    Would have thought that site would have been quite secure and well protected tbh.

    Re: CNN hacked

    Would have thought that the hackers could have at least posted a NewsBiscuit story up as 'real'

    TheOnion would have been brilliant to have sourced an article from.

    Come on Agent, you showed us (me?) Wayne Gladstone. One of his countless videos ridiculing CNN would have been better.

    Re: CNN hacked

    Looking like a training exercise gone wrong!

    Onion would be good but tbh these days the articles are more plausible than some real stories!

    That's just a template that the journos have posted by mistake.

    Re: CNN hacked

    Doubt it. Either that, or the template is made by a geek-ish person with a sense of humour (GTA:San Andreas? 'Teh'?). I was a little surprised at how long it took them to take it down - after I made the post, I went to sleep, and by the time I woke up it was still there.
