Crackers broke into the Girl Scouts of America website and defaced it with a picture of Homer Simpson drooling over a cookie, followed by the message, "We demand cookies for all the l33t hax0rs and skript kiddies out there. We need Samoas, Thin Mints, and some Tagalongs Peanut Butter Patties!!!" Although the site has been subsequently restored, you can see a mirror of the defacement here.
Although I don't approve of cracking, this one was more creative than most.

a) clearly funny

b) mostly harmless


and


c) done for the purpose of getting girls and/or cookies
