Fark's hack seems to be about as clever as fark itself.

It's a joke - or at least supposed to be. You can still get to their index by entering the full path :

Not that I know why you would want to.

Do we file this under "boobies", "stupid", or "suprisingly conservative"?

That's the same bloody thing that they did last year. I mean, the same images, same HTML, etc.

That's really lame.

oh man a snark feeding and here i am without my screen shoRts.


As for fark.com and its crappy low brow humor, some days metafilter is ROUGH, not so much in a low brow way, but in a good god there is nothing on here at all today sort of way. Fark at least generally has one good article for every 30 bad ones.

In other news I'm eagerly awaiting a context checker to avoid future typos.

definitely some april fools humor, i still can't believe i wrote shorts...

Oooh... do I detect some FARK envy? Fortunately, you can now enlarge your Metafilter by over 50% using these new pills I read about.

Ok, I thought the hacking hamsters were funny. "OMG, WTF, Nmap!" Then again, I'm sleep deprived...
