Hey you British types--

I'm reading a long article about the News of the World hacks into a bunch of mobile voicemail, including the royals. What's the news from your side of the pond? Looks like there are 5 lawsuits so far against News Group (Murdoch).

Well, here's a link to the BBC New Website:

There was something about this on BBC Radio Four the other day. Apparently a lot of voice mails were "hacked" because the user didn't set up a PIN number.

I'll hack your phone.

I'll even erase all your data.

Glad I could help.
Now if you want your bank account hacked into or your credit card stolen I can also help with that.

Oh wow! I thought you would never ask.

I have this contact who needs to move a large sum of money out of the country. So yes- you can help.

I would be delighted to help.
Send your client my way, I'll move it right out of the country to a nice island somewhere.
I do need a vacation.

If it wasn't for Murdoch, I'd be all for freedom of the press. Personally, given what has happened, I'd be looking into whether or not a criminal investigation into Murdoch's press is possible. I'd like to see him in court explaining himself.
