So, my company landed a large account end of last year. We build a slick campaign and its all starting to hit this month.

I work in the design department, not as a full time designer, as a full time production person. My collegue designs, I execute. He did an awesome job on this campaign, and we built it into a simple website.

So, come to find out, some would be haxx0r dickhead registered a new domain and put up a framed page that references our site and added a RealPlayer songtrack to it.

Its hard to really describe this without saying who our client is, where this guy put his work, and what the song was. But let me put it this way... I’m internet savvy. I’ve seen some crazy shit, some hilarious, some disturbing, some inspiring. This guy IS A LAME ASS KNOWNOTHING WANNABE!!! Now, I get the spoof he tried to pull, but it was done in such a cheap and really stupid way that all I can say is the guy is an outright chickenshit dumbass.

I got his name, phone number and address from the domain he registered, which happens to be right around the corner from where we work. Dumbass.

All his spoof consisted of was referencing our site and adding a song. A song I have to say that is not at all insulting in fact. Dumbass.

I emailed his host immediately about his abuse since I am the administrator of our site. His host will see that in their whois. Dumbass.

Our client is huge. They have lawyers. Dumbass.

The many ways in which this guy is a moron probably dosen’t stop with this list.

The lesson here, kiddies, is if you are going to do something. whether it be designing a website, organizing an advertising campaign, running a company or doing hack work, do it right, do it well, and don’t be a dumbass. People will find out.

It was going in one ear and out the other (in the internet sense of the term) until the /drink beer.

I agree with you there at least! :beer:

Heh, but seriously, at least you got back at em.

His site was shut down and he posted an apology all from just ONE email. Thanks, Hulk.

PS. Thats what I mean about doing things well.

We had the baseball bat discussion in the office. But you know me, evolved and all that. I just used the psychology bat against an unarmed opponent.

He close to Indy? He's got thumbs and I've got tin snips.

It doesn't need to be a violent visit.

You should have a love in and discuss your feelings.

Props on choosing the first way, Backlash. :up:

Simple lesson to teach him.

Find some pasture with metal fencing. Not chain-link, but wire grid.

Bend on grid up and out enough and shove his head through. Some one hold him there while another person on the other side stands on the bottom wire and pulls up on the top wire.

This will securely hold his melon in place.

Now, yank his pants down and let the bull loose.

Drive off.
