Facebook's Founder Gets a Hack Attack

A funny and ironic thing happened to Mark Zuckerberg on the way to work this past Tuesday.

It had nothing to do with TMZ finding him doing naughty things with his hoodie.

No, he wasn't interviewed about the Facebook movie while watching 'TRON 3D'.

Actually, his Facebook account was hacked.

No joke.

Here's the story from NPR.

Mark Zuckerberg's Facebook page has been hacked by an unknown person who posted a status update suggesting that the site should let people invest in it rather than going to the banks. The page belonging to the 26-year-old Zuckerberg, the Facebook founder who was named Time's Man of the Year in 2010, was hacked some time on Tuesday.

You know, a guy gets a movie and all hell breaks loose.

There he is, sitting on his white throne with a gold hoodie and he gets caught with Farm Town shorts down at his ankles.

Although the message was quickly removed, TechCrunch got a hold of the perpetrator's social benefacting muse for the world to see:

"Let the hacking begin: If facebook needs money, instead of going to the banks, why doesn't Facebook let its users invest in Facebook in a social way? Why not transform Facebook into a 'social business' the way Nobel Price winner Muhammad Yunus described it? http://bit.ly/fs6rT3 What do you think? #hackercup2011"

Funny. And so completely ironic.

I mean, that's up there in the annals of irony as having a clinical fear of long words and not being able to tell everyone what the disease is called.

BTW, it's hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia.

See the irony now? Maybe we can make that a status update on Facebook.
