Okay, not exactly. But that's what his myspace page said. Specifically, it said:

I have reversed my position and come out in full support of gay marriage... particularly marriage between two passionate females

Somebody pranked John McCain's myspace page. Or at least, that's the official story. :p

And the lesson is, GIVE CREDIT WHERE IT'S DESERVED!

Yeah--how hard is it to give credit and not hotlink pictures on a freaking MySpace page, especially when you're going to be running a very high traffic page. McCain's web guy ought to be kicked, and hard--not that I feel sorry for McCain, not in the slightest.

As far as conservatives go, he's still a pretty decent human being. He just hides it because he wants to be president so badly. A wiser man would have retired.

One would expect higher security on the myspace page of a maybe soon-to-be president.

No, no. This was vandalized by the guy who actually WROTE the code they were using for their layout. And he had written in a backdoor or something similar.

best. political prank. ever.

No, he hadn't. He has his stuff up there for all to use, as long as you give him credit, and he asks that you copy the image files instead of hotlinking them, so as to not burn his bandwidth--a reasonable request. When the McCain campaign hotlinked his images anyway, he changed them in order to give them a bit of a wakeup call. This was McCain's web person's fault, all the way.

Sounds like a pretty awesome job interview to me...

"This douchebag can't run your website...I, however, can reach more potential voters in 4 hours than you could hope to reach in 4 months..."

"You're Hired."

Ah. Wasn't quite clear on that.

particularly marriage between two passionate females

That is the very definition of awesome :)

...so why does McCain even HAVE a Myspace page? What, do Bush and many other well-known politicians also have pages? Clearly this is merely someone trying to pass themselves off as McCain and not actually McCain, because surely no politician would actually have a bloody Myspace page.

Ah well. I'm sure all he'll have to do is look through his past interviews and debates, see what his policy was, and follow it.

At least, I hope not, but I bet Cameron has.

Yes. Bush in particular has a few hundred, all set up by his adoring fans :)

I would love to see a politician get drunk and commit political seppuku like this...

Ya gotta love that. (Snickers)

Wouldn't it be hilarious if it turned out McCain had actually wrote that, and then bribed this guy to take credit?

One of my local councillors does, and it backfired.

Banksy eat your heart out.

Hilarious. But the fool only has some 3100 friends. Even Herman Dune has twice that.

Best prank evar!@@!11

He's been on the Daily Show at least twice and SNL...he might know how to take a joke...but who knows.

Oh no, McCain has released my Giant Killer Viking Monkeys!

Run to the hills, before his revenge comes upon us all for such a prank!?!?!?!:eek:

*Runs into a shelter*

Just release some the Giant Killer Ninja Monkeys. They'll fight each other out. :)

I'm trying to figure out what my reaction would have been, had it been serious...

...so why does McCain even HAVE a Myspace page? What, do Bush and many other well-known politicians also have pages? Clearly this is merely someone trying to pass themselves off as McCain and not actually McCain, because surely no politician would actually have a bloody Myspace page.Actually, it's a campaign run thing, and the campaigns look at it as a way to reach young voters who are less affected by television advertising and direct mail and email lists. Hell, I have Barack Obama as a friend on mine (I have one to keep in touch with college and high school friends).

Wait, WAIT,WAIT does McCain support gay marrige or not

not nessicerially true a lot of famous people( like wrestlers) have my spaces. I know what your thinking wrestlers are different from politicians. True, but with Bush and stuff its a way to appeal to youngers voters like high school seniors ( especially the ones who don't give a crap about politics)

No, he does not.

Oh...I see...I suppose that makes sense. Makes me wonder if they'll ever try campaigning on a place like NationStates.

Not if they're smart, they won't. :D

We'd probably convince them voting is pointless and special interests will control them and they'll become disillusioned and drop out altogether.

No one in their right mind would campaign on a place like NSG.

Well, I think it would be fun to troll Barack Obama or Rudolf Guiliani posting on the forums...it'd be hilarious, really. The mods would turn into a secret service for the campaigners...

And since we all know that no politician is in their right mind, we're sure to have some campaigning here.

Then like everyone hires Kat to fight off the other mods, and we have a clash for the ages, modlike powers clashing on the stage of the forums, threads locked, then sent hurtling towards the enemy mods, soldiers of ordinary users hacking through the ranks, led by the Honorary Spam Forum Owners, astride their steeds of rationale. And suddenly-a figure appears on the hill-It is Myrth. The light catches behind him, and he looks down on the scene, great sadness in his eyes. He charges, wielding a sword of flames, cleaving straight through row after row of ignorant posters, blasting through the mods, and finally draws his blessed banhammer and smashes Obama and Giuliani with it. He then coldly makes a poll using their squished accounts.

Yeah, that'd be awesome.

Just release some the Giant Killer Ninja Monkeys. They'll fight each other out. :)What are you talking about Giant Killer Ninja Monkeys?:confused:

That is impossible, plus even if it was it will take me ten years to make them and then train them as I have no samples currently made as I only just finished the Giant Killer Viking Monkeys.:D
