SF Gate Hacked This Morning In More Ways Than One

chron%20hacked.jpg

SF Weekly discovered this morning that the Gate was hacked--specifically, this morning's Mark Morford. OMG, oops.

The thing is, it's actually his column, using the hacked tongue. Jesus. Next week's Morford: quality of airline food; take his wife, please.

I thought that really was his column, as in, an ironic repurposing of spam headlines for some hitherto unknown purpose.

Hack Gets Hacked? Or is it more hacky humor from SFGate's number 1 hackster? More at 11.

Finally, something worth reading at the Gate!

[4] | 05/07/08 10:42AM

That's funny. It's indistinguishable from any regular Morford column.

[5] | 05/07/08 10:42AM

Yeah, really.

How is this different from every single other Morford column?

I didn't even blink.

You can't call yourself a great lover until you hear her moan "mmorford!!!"

[7] | 05/07/08 11:24AM

given that it's still up there, and topping the most-read articles list, I have to presume it's really his column! :D

[8] | 05/07/08 11:32AM

Wait, is this really a security breach? Or is it intentional, something he actually intended to post? I don't know which possibility is a worse reflection on the Chron.

[9] | 05/07/08 11:34AM

it's--sigh--intentional.

...and don't forget to tip your waitress.

[10] | 05/07/08 11:59AM

Yeah, I wish I could get paid to cut and paste from my spam.

[11] | 05/07/08 12:10PM

Oh fuck. Really? This is really a column that he's going to put his name on and get approved by some editor and then they're going to print it in a major metropolitan daily? Really?

He is much, much worse than I thought. God.

To paraphrase one of my old spams, Morford is being "a greatly more preponderant cock than national" today.

[13] | 05/07/08 12:18PM

Strangely, this the most coherent and insightful material Morford has ever written.

[14] | 05/07/08 12:19PM

Ah. So, basically, he's discovered what Spamusement started doing in 2004 (http://www.spamusement.com/), what another site's been doing since 2003 (http://spam-poetry.com/) and what Satire Wire was doing in 2001 (http://www.satirewire.com/features/poetry_spam/01free_runner.shtml).

...Except, not interesting this time.

Mark Morford is a knee jerk hack whose ridiculous, self righteous ramblings accurately capture the never questioned, pseudo-liberal values that people claim to live by in our little town on the edge of the world. I congratulate whomever hacked the online version of his stupid yet annoying column. Huzzah!

[16] | 05/07/08 12:24PM

Oh wait. Intentional? Ptsch! Morford needs to be rounded up.

[17] | 05/07/08 12:30PM

Nice link, Generic, I thought I remembered that one from the days of The Morning Fix.

but really, aren't we all hacks?

[18] | 05/07/08 12:40PM

At least we got a break from his ridiculous run-on sentences.

[19] | 05/07/08 12:45PM

@ OrangeDrink

"You can't call yourself an erectile dysfunction sufferer until you hear her moan "mmorford!!!"

fixed!

[20] | 05/07/08 12:59PM

put the pipe down mark.

[21] | 05/07/08 01:33PM

Aw dj didja have to tell? You'll reduce me to looking for women on the internet via arbitrary emails regaling their big white meteors.

[22] | 05/07/08 01:35PM

agree with almost all of the above, but he gets some wonderful turns of phrases off, and is humorous in a way that Debbie Saunders just isn't.
