You think this is Pepsi, but you're wrong.

Congratulations if you recognize that quote and where it's from. You win a domain name:

www.halturnershow.com

If you haven't heard, the buzz on the various Chan sites is that Kirtaner and 420chan made a big ol' "fuck you, buddy" to Hal and took the original site name. If you clicked on the link above, you know that it now redirects to 420chan.org, and you also wasted a few seconds of your time reading something that you already know by getting this far in the paragraph.

Sorry, but I can't return your time.

In any case, warning signals and klaxons should be blaring at Hal's blog once Hal finds out. Could this be considered copyright infringement, since he's effectively copyrighted everything concerning himself? Maybe. But it might fall under the lesser-used, but widely-known, clause of "Finder's Keepers," since Hal did technically abandon the name when he shut down the main site, thereby making it fair game.

Or it could be a hacker having fun. Who knows? Stay tuned.

Seriously. Hal was talking about all those security measures he was going to have on his new site. And now this happens. ^^

I think this was Hal's doing. If somebody else did it, they would have either needed to (1) get ahold of Hal's username and password with Network Solutions, or (2) break into Network Solutions. I don't see (2) as a likely possibility, and if somebody had managed to do (1), there are so many better options than 420chan. Pointing the domain to 218.219.212.168 would be full of win.

Well, hey, I'll be damned. He claims that somebody else did it.

Some folks have no creativity, I guess.
