Sigur Rós site hacked by Islamic fundamentalists?
I may be wrong, but as of 2:30 am Eastern time, it appears as if the website for the Icelandic post-rock band Sigur Rós has been hacked by Islamic fundamentalists. Instead of a pre-order screen for their up and coming album, you're greeted by a message in red text with what looks like an excerpt from the Koran. Now what might have caused this? Well, recently the band has been allowing free downloads of their new single entitled "Gobbledigook," along with a music video which contains both female and male full frontal nudity. Now I'm no rocket scientist, but it seems as if these people have been upset by this kind of stuff before...
Update:
I just checked and it looks like the site is up and running as usual. If anyone is interested in seeing the screen shot I took of the hacker's message, follow the link: http://weskandel.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/picture-63...
