Apparently the internet hate machine is alive and well, and this time they’re going after some douchebag who filmed himself abusing a cat and stuck it on youtube. Somebody put two and two together, identified the guy, and next thing you know the police are knocking on his door.
Dude did not know an important rule; [...]

OMG, Anonymous pwned Oprah! These loosely confederated Internets boys and girl have brought us such wonderful things as rickrolling (via duckroll), LOLCats, and pedobear, and the world is slowly becoming aware of their existence.

Someone went way overboard, and mailed packets of suspicious white powder to a number of Scientology offices.

This act has been vilified in the blogosphere, and Anonymous has condemned it and [...]

Scientology has been all over the Internet recently, due to the propaganda video with Tom Cruise on the benefits of Scientology. “Re-Reading KSW”, “Orgs”, and “Have you met an SP?”; the specialized vocabulary is punctuated by what seems to be uncontrollable laughter, although maybe he has to pee real bad.
“Being a Scientologist, when you [...]
