Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.
Its like the first part of the Good Samaritan story. Gabe and Tycho pass by and avert their eyes. A little while later, another web personality (with an outsider reputation) will stop by and lend a hand to the broken and dying guy from Escapist.

Funny story, I was drunk with my then wife when I saw that movie. I screamed like a bitch when I saw the teaser for "White Chicks." Then I got drunken angry when they hit the bar in Egypt.
I have all of your passwords, e-mails accounts, credit card numbers, and sexual fetishes.
Well, you got off easy there because my sexual fetish is passwords, e-mail accounts and credit card numbers!
I'll have you know that I've penetrated your e-mail account after thrusting in the required information hard and fast and uh . . . I'm licking your credit card numbers.

Lulz Security, the hacking group apparently motivated by nothing more than their desire to laugh at the mayhem they cause, has had a busy day in an event they called Titanic Takeover Tuesday. Taking a break from their dumps of user data and server break-ins, today saw the group perform a bunch of distributed denial of service attacks against a range of targets.
First up—and still only intermittently available at the time of writing—was gaming magazine The Escapist, with no apparent reason for the attack. LulzSec boasted that taking down the site required just 0.4 percent of its DDoS capacity.
Next in line were the login servers for the game EVE Online. The effect of this attack was to bring down the EVE Online website at the same time, though LulzSec insists that this was not the actual target. In response to the DDoS, CCP Games, makers of EVE, have taken all their systems offline, for fear that they might be hacked. The company has also issued a statement to assure customers that their personal information remains secure.
The third target—and the only one for which the group has offered a rationale beyond "lulz"—is an IT security company named Finfisher. Their site was taken down, briefly, because "apparently they sell monitoring software to the government or some shit like that."
Gamers were once more in the crosshairs with the fourth target; more login servers, this time for Minecraft. Just as with EVE Online, going after the login servers also took out the game's website.
The pattern was repeated for the fifth target; login servers for the game League of Legends were knocked offline, a move which also brought down the game's website.
The result of all this? Lot of enraged gamers complaining about the downtime, and hence, many lulz for Lulz Security. Going after gaming targets hasn't made the group universally popular; posters on 4chan's /b/ forum, who might normally be sympathetic to lulz-motivated shenanigans, attempted to hunt LulzSec down. LulzSec dismissed the "/b/tards" as "damn furries," saying that they were the cream of the /b/ crop from 2005, distancing themselves from the /b/tards of today.
whenever someone says "they did it for the lulz" I want to stomp on their penis, over and over until blood comes out
yeah, apart from the occasional bright sparks the escapist picks up from youtube with a cheque dangled from a fishing line i'd be none to concerned with the escapist being hammered in a dark alley
These guys also DDOS'd the CIA's website. I hope they track the dumbasses down and put them away for a long time.
I believe they did the same to the FBI as well. It would be super awesome to see some dumb kids get arrested for this. It would scare the other lulsec webtards and maybe even some of the younger members of even more annoying groups like anon.

What is DDoS and why is so much stuff vulnerable to it? One would think that when these DDoS hacks started going around, that people would beef up their security against whatever it is.
As far as I understand it, a DDoS attack (something denial of service) is nothing more than internet traffic spamming somebody's service until it crashes because it can't handle all the traffic. So basically you just turn your internet star destroyer until it's facing somebody's login server and blast it with pings and requests and stuff until it goes down.
I think the reason it works is because it's so simple.

It's essentially a million people mashing 'refresh' on your server so that no one else can use it.
Not a lot you can do about that, except having more robust servers. When popular website links to some small-time webpage; the resulting outage is essentially caused by an unintentional DDOS attack
Using the word "Lulz" should be a jailable offense in itself. I hope a bunch of these kids get tossed in jail or fined just to teach them that crimes you commit on the internet are still crimes in real life.

They tried to hack Blizzard, but weren't terribly successful
"How do you plead?"
"Not guilty, by reason of lulz."
"No trial necessary. The sentence is death."
