Newsflash: Adult Webmasters don't like Zango

....also, small dog stuffs 96 year old man in washing machine.

Yep, just because Paperghost is currently floating at the bottom of a riv - um, doing some covert stuff...that doesn't mean we can't get all Zango on your collective behinds. So without further ado, check out what some real angry webmasters have gone and done. It's an offshoot of this explosion of hatred, where adult webmasters suddenly got a clue and woke up to potentially controversial practices that have been going on since at least 2004.

They went and created a redirect that detects if you have Zango on your PC, then slamdunks you to this site. Quote time:

You have been sent to this page because your PC has been infected with ZangoSearch. We are a group of website owners that believe it is time for you to take your PC back. We as a whole, believe this is a scourge that needs to be fought at the grassroots level.

....well, I can't say I'm overly enthused by this idea that because some pr0n webmasters decided to lay the "Zango, boooooo!" mat outside the door that (all of a sudden) they're starting some "grassroots" fightback. Isn't that what the security forums and community has been doing all these years?

Still, nice nuclear fallout symbol thing.
