Justin: Like I give a crap, I just avoided the site for the day and expected a hack.
If gizmodo wants to prank me by pretending they’ve suffered a security failure of epic proportions and pretending they are untrustable, well, then the only person who truly loses is them.
perhaps the courtesy of an article saying we apologise for our own bad taste and disrespect of our readers may have helped. But maybe it was a fantastic marketing success beyond me. I personally have already changed my homepage to Engadget. I am sure that the advertisers will be disappointed in readers changing their homepage. Imagine that, building a trust basis where people choose to make your blog their homepage so they can read it 3 or 4 times a day. Personally i’d write an apology for the monumental **** up.
All signs of the worm have been eliminated. Resume normal Gizmodo programming. BEEP.

Dumbest idea ever. Take a ‘trusted site’, act like it’s infected with spyware, ask people to click links.
Are you people morons, or just 12 years old? I hope your advertising click thorough plummeted.
