I got a weird comment to the “Fundamentally Unserious” post from last week.  It consisted of simply the phrase, “I’m shocked” and claimed to be from someone named “Diarmuid Moroney” of the “Dublin International Foundation College.”  The website given seemed kind of weird and I found out that it was a ripoff of the real website with some interesting and naughty bits added to the HTML.  The page didn’t render right in Firefox, and I think I’m glad it didn’t, given this bit that was hidden there:


<a href=“cartoon/01.html”><span class=“red”>disney porn</span></a><span class=“red”>   
            <a href=“cartoon/05.html”>simpsons sex</a>

            <a href=“cartoon/15.html”>futurama xxx</a></span><br>


Disney Porn!  WTF?!  I had to Google to find out who Kim Possible was.  If you’re the kind of squirrel who gets off on a cartoon teenager, I don’t want to know you.  But I suppose there’s no accounting for taste or the weird variety of things that get people’s motors started.

Anyhow, I’ve deleted the comment, but this is an insidious sort of thing that is hard to catch since you have to investigate the linked website (and in this case look at the source).  The only red flag is that the comment itself doesn’t quite make sense.  For example, I could understand being shocked by the bishop’s statement, but people who would be shocked would say more than just “I’m shocked.”
