Default GameStop 'Super Smash Bros Brawl' Page Hacked

http://www.gamestop.com/product.asp?...ct%5Fid=230015

Super Smash Bros Brawl









We pride ourselves on making sure you get the latest games first. Pre-order by November 30 at 11:00 am CST and choose overnight shipping for guaranteed delivery on December 3. If your package doesn’t arrive on the street date we will fully refund your shipping charges…and cry.

Fine print: Void if you are unable to accept delivery. Continental U.S. only. (Aren’t you glad you passed on that Maui beach house?) Not responsible for delays due to incorrect address, payment information, publisher date change, inclement weather or Solid Snake and Samus getting it on.

Doesn't seem hacked to me, just that someone at Gamestop actually has a sense of humor.

Although I'm not sure if they should be declaring a guaranteed delivery on the 3rd rather than the 4th. I know they often get game shipments early, but that's putting a lot of faith in UPS.

Woah! That's funny, but I wonder who put that on there...maybe some employee?

I was on a train once and the message scroller that usually displays the destinations was showing a rude lymerick about one of the guys who worked there. That was .. unusual.

That must have been a bit embarassing for him!

Undoubtedly, and I also wondered how much trouble the perpetrator would get into .. We get away with a lot of leg-pulling stuff where I work but if we were to do any of it in front of the public there'd be hell to pay.

The link has changed, but that message is pretty much the same, with the exception of "...or Samus and Solid Snake exchanging vows in a small but tasteful civil ceremony."

Either someone is being persistent, or they put it there intentionally.
