Update: Fake MSNBC's Twitter feed: HACKED!

Leave it to MSNBC to get their Twitter feed hacked right before the weekend. You'd think a prominent news organization of that stature might have its guard up against such sophomoric shenanigans, but it just goes to show that no one is safe from web trolls. Errant tweets like "ALL CARTOONS ARE FUCKIN' DICKS! @DylanMSNBC, @maddow, @MADNews101 are all cartoons!" and "We LOVE Sean Hannity!! Cum all over us Glenn Beck!!"—are two of the less offensive tweets. Thankfully (for their sake, if not our yuks) it seems as though the network's already caught on to the error. I can sympathize, as my Twitter account was hacked a few weeks back, and in the hour or two before I realized what had happened, my account had DM'd (that's Direct Message, for you Twitterphobes) at least half of the folks that I follow. Needless to say, if you receive a DM from MSNBC asking you to check out some sweet pix, by all means delete immediately!

Update: TechCrunch reports that the Twitter account in question was fake all along, and the legit newsstream preceding the offensive tweets (obviously not included in the above screengrab) was only a cheap attempt to deceive overzealous media peeps (like your's truly!). Here is the official link to MSNBC's news feed.
