Humanism Sucks - says British Humanist Association Website
On the British Humanist Association website on Monday morning, all the pages had a new title:
Humanism sux
Could this be an outbreak of humanist heresy? A conversion to religion (I’ll ignore the Billy Graham-esque “What humanists believe” which starts the “what is humanism” page)? Have they all been on an Alpha Course, perhaps?
Disappointingly for the straight down the line religious types, this does not represent a recantation by the BHA. Instead, it’s Fun and Frolics on Friday 13th by an anonymous IT wind-up merchant.

Yes - it is a hack, but fortunately for the BHA crowd and Pretty Polly, it looks to be about defacement not damage. Here’s the Google Cached version from last Friday morning:
They even switched the “cache” option in the webpage to “nocache” - which will prevent the BHA’s presence in the cache from being infected with the title.
(Of course I told them about it, I was hacked myself in March and I lost a weekend recovering. I don’t wish hacks on - almost - anyone).
