You can now go back to your regularly scheduled Memorial Day. Tupac Shakur is not alive.
This wasn’t the case, according to the main page of the PBS Newshour program, which had a story proclaiming the Tupac was alive (and well) just a dozen or so hours ago.
But the hackers didn’t stop there, the fabricated story claimed that Tupac has been fine all along, chilling in New Zealand with, you guessed it, Christopher “Biggie Smalls” Wallace.
Why the hackers chose PBS of all sites can only be explained by the hackers themselves. This, in a public statement by Lulz, the group taking responsibility:
Greetings, Internets. We just finished watching WikiSecrets and were less than impressed. We decided to sail our Lulz Boat over to the PBS servers for further… perusing. As you should know by now, not even that fancy-ass fortress from the third s—-y Pirates of the Caribbean movie (first one was better!) can withhold our barrage of chaos and lulz.
In other words, sounds like they were just kind of bored.

Logan Huffman wants to know who is posting comments about him online and asks Jace for help. Meanwhile Joe Flanigan is caught again flirting in the V costume. Jace heads to the set of Law and Order: SVU to catch up with Ice – T and Coco and the Starcraft II team gets “rushed” by World of Warcraft Lead Designer, Jeff Kaplan.
Jace has decided to take advantage of his co-hosting duties at the Sony Online Entertainment Fan Faire celebration, by showing his new music video to the thousands of EverQuest players in attendance, much to the dismay of the crowd. That didn’t stop one enthusiastic guest from doing something radical.
