massive faux pas
William Hung is the secret American Idol.
Fan sites are popping up everywhere. Including at www.williamhung.reallyrules.com, which we found from an article in the Boston Globe this morning. There are a couple of problems with this site, however. One: you can't read the really crappy font, and, Two: 587 people have let them (or maybe the site owners didn't even ask, just did it?) post their email addresses on the site for the world to see. Can you say spambot dream? I bet within a week half of those people will be closing out their email accounts because they have been spam bombed because all their email addresses have been scraped for penis patch and viagra ads.
Amazing. Not sure how old the two girls are that created the site, but they really don't know much about privacy protection, spam prevention and how to protect themselves from angry angry people once their emails have been shut down due to spam overload...
