Bemused Toronto commuters were repeatedly informed that "Stephen Harper eats babies" after a hacker tampered with advertising signs on city trains.
The scrolling electronic signs that usually carry transit updates and advertisements on Toronto's westbound Lakeshore GO Transit trains carried the messages Thursday, Friday and Monday after the hacker used a remote-control device to re-program the wording and mock the prime minister.

Oh, the shock and awe ! People doubting their senses, forced to use their brains to reassess reality ! When people start wondering if they're hallucinating, you got a successful mind**** in my book (along with the mock corporate labels pasted on Barbie and Ken doll boxes in shops, and the surrealist, mischevious announcements in airports).

They turned off the signs for a week and have updated all the units. All signs are now back and operational.

I like the caption under Harper's photo: "Prime Minister Stephen Harper does not 'eat babies.'"

The last line in the article is funny too:

Meanwhile, when asked about his time with Harper at the National Citizens Coalition, Nicholls said: "I worked with Stephen Harper for five years and never once did he, in that time, eat a baby."

That last comment was simply priceless

I like how people wouldn't accept that it was actually happening... rocking their reality map, it's simply a brilliant move of epistemologic warfare !
