We understand that for most of you it’s Late Lunch Hour Porn Cruising Time, but beware, the Iranians have set up a digital attack trap: “don’t know what’s up, but i went to persian bay (nee pirate bay), then to wonkette (at about 1:30 pm your time) and for a few long seconds it seemed that my computer (a mac running os x) had been seized from afar. i went to make a comment on one of your postings and my keyboard started typing an endless series of ‘i’s, then my selection bar in safari history started jumping all up and down on its own accord. i bailed out of safari and restarted and everything seems okay now, but spooky, my dear wonkette, spooky.” Is anyone else being oppressed in this way?

Humpback June 17, 2009 at 1:51 pm

Sorry. No. Not really.

meg9 June 17, 2009 at 1:51 pm

of course this would happen the very same week that I finally start using pirate bay. I’m already paranoid enough about it!

4tehlulz June 17, 2009 at 1:52 pm

No, because I run a real Internet browser.

I hope Justin Long has a good alibi.

Monsieur Grumpe June 17, 2009 at 1:55 pm

Dude. You need to reformat your hard drive immediately. Just ignore all those warning messages. They’re just more of those digital attack traps.

Same as usual here, just being oppressed by the Mexicans like all the other average, every-day white guys.

It’s because you use Safari.

“iiiiiiiiiiiiii”? I thought that the Muslin battle-cry was “Allahu Akbar”.

Alas, it seems, as was inevitable, that Wonkette is under attack. But I say to you, stay vigilant, Wonkette. Ahmad, the Supreme Leaders and the rest of their cabal will try to take you down, but they cannnot do it. Not today, of all days. They do this not because they are strong, or calculating, but because they fear you. Indeed, these vicious attacks on the very nature of new media- and thus, freedom itself- is the strongest evidence yet of their illegal actions that continue even as we speak. Stay strong, and continue to post the truth!

Extemporanus June 17, 2009 at 1:58 pm

PEOPLE! If you don’t want this to happen to you, IMMEDIATELY disable “Remote Ululation”!

The Muslins have stolen the intarwebs!

Dumbass gets a power surge and suddenly he’s the crux of Persian conspiracy.

Serolf Divad June 17, 2009 at 2:07 pm

What the Paultards couldn’t achieve on their own, they’ve managed to do by joining forces with the Ayatollah! But don’t despair Wonketter’s there’s an easy fix to this problem you just have to iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii and then iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii and download iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii and this should eliminate the trojan.

SlipperyDick June 17, 2009 at 2:10 pm

I suspect the Wonkette interns are behind this.

shortsshortsshorts June 17, 2009 at 2:11 pm

All of my porn is Persian. Iranian chicks are fucking hawt. Wait what are we talking about?

pattycake June 17, 2009 at 2:11 pm

Will trojans defeat the persians, or should we use the magnums?

No, I have Norton Antivirus and firewall — the only time I get “virus attacks” is the week before my subscription expires, and then I get one an hour until I renew the damn thing.

facehead June 17, 2009 at 2:19 pm

Dump all your cookies, empty the browser history, and make sure there aren’t any persian cats on your keyboard.

Now that the Iranians have achieved key-sticking capability we can’t be satisfied with our outdated fly swatting capacity. We cannot allow an i key gap!

Dear illuminated respondent:

You have a book laying on top of your keyboard. Remove it. If it is large enough, thrust it in your mouth. If the book contains a shiny metal bookmark from a Christian bookstore, plunge it in your ear.

Lazy Media June 17, 2009 at 2:34 pm

Firefox + Noscript = that shit don’t happen. You don’t see Sarah Palin ads on Wonkette, either, which is the REAL payoff.

Yes, every time I click on The Wonkette I”m besieged by inane and maniacal text that fills my browser up until I feel I am as one to explode. This means you [re=341160]shortsshortsshorts[/re].

Dave J. June 17, 2009 at 2:57 pm

“I tried to go to Wonkette, but instead wound up on PirateBay and somehow or another downloaded “Alexis Texas Big Butt Sluts 28″”–this sounds awfully suspicious to something I told my wife last week. Interesting.

I went to persiankitty and lost 5 hours this morning.

blogslut June 17, 2009 at 3:09 pm

Too much fapping. Not enough tapping. The user’s keyboard is lonely.

dijetlo June 17, 2009 at 3:13 pm

Step one: Flip over the keyboard so the keys face down.
Step two: Bang the leading edge against your desk.
Step three: Repeat until keys start to pop off, (don’t worry, they just pop back on…normally).
Step four: Dispose of the bits of dead skin, ashes from your drug addiction, dried splooge flakes and snot now littering your desk.
Now, you can also fix the problem with your browser but for that you’ll need a cigar, a bottle of rum, a live chicken a drop cloth and a long, serrated knife (unless you want to go “old school” and just spin the chicken by the neck and rip off it’s head). Let me know when you’re ready.

KilgoreTrout_XL June 17, 2009 at 3:58 pm

That’s just god getting mad at you for using Pirate Bay. The next time you open up a laptop in public gross german poopy porn will start playing at a high volume.

mn_sleuth June 17, 2009 at 4:12 pm

No snark. Did you install the Java update? I did that this morning on my iMac. Firefox was slow on certain sites but not other after the I installed the Java update.

IceCreamEmpress June 17, 2009 at 4:49 pm

Wow, if you can’t trust torrent seeders, who can you trust? I mean, it’s outrageous that people who are ripping off intellectual property holders aren’t completely aboveboard in their dealings with site users!

qaf June 17, 2009 at 5:11 pm

[re=341394]IceCreamEmpress[/re]: Hey, it’s safer than looking for straight porn elsewhere, that’s a sure source of infection (digital or anal). I pity hets, such a big-ass target, just like Windows.

peorgietirebiter June 17, 2009 at 5:22 pm

[re=341163]sezme[/re]: That would be my guess. Still, I’d throw in the OS X disk, go to disk repair and run, repair permissions and repair disk, install Firefox and run an apple update. Or just use your IPhone for Persian porn – they have an app for that.

Numbat Dundee June 17, 2009 at 8:51 pm

That’s a well known computer virus know to afflict certain newspaper columnists. They just can’t stop typing “I” when commenting on great affairs.

bizzy June 18, 2009 at 1:33 pm

omg that totally happened to me this one time, except it was the backslash not the ‘i’. and it was totally caused by a cookie crumb wedged under the key. but other than that, it was exactly the same. damn muslins.
