Newsies, Barack Obama, Britney Spears all have Twitter accounts hacked

Tbdbilloreilly010608 All you Twitter fans out there worrying about the recent spate of account hacking going on, take note of how it's affected the big guns: President-elect Barack Obama, Fox News' Bill O'Reilly, CNN's Rick Sanchez and even our dear Juice* mascot, Britney Spears.

Fox News' Twitter feed updated this morning with the message "Breaking: Bill O Riley is gay" while Sanchez was falsely credited with tweeting "i am high on crack right now might not be coming into work today" CenterNetworks.com reported. Barack Obama's featured a relatively harmless offer for $500 in free gas for taking a survey.

But the coup de grace was Spears' message, which read: "HI Yall! Brit Brit here, just wanted to update you all on the size of my vagina. Its about 4 feet wide with razor sharp teeth."

Ah, technology. Maybe all of you are feeling a little sheepish about being so connected all the time now, eh? The offending posts have been cleaned up, but mind your account doesn't say you like to shoot smack while molesting nuns or anything.

These articles are starting to confuse me, did Barack Obama get elected or did Brittany Spears get elected as president. It was such a hectic finish of '08. Oh well, whoever got elected, good luck to him or her.

The Twitter accounts of US president-elect Barack Obama, singer Britney Spears and other prominent figures were hacked on Monday and fake messages sent out in their names on the micro-blogging service.
