PAIR OF SAD DEVIANTS HACK LOVE PARTY MYSPACE SHOCK: BAND SPEAKS TO FANS! READ MORE HERE
Love Party People, as some of you are aware we got hacked earlier this week. As we write, the band myspace is currently in the hands of the hackers - but this shouldn't last for too much longer. We know who the hackers are. Obviously they are a pair of sad deviants, but most importantly - we know which sad deviants. Because let's face it the world is distressingly, not short of them is it? Yes, lifeforms like that are more often to be found on their backs, squirming around at the bottom of a muddy pond right? But hey, this is a Love Party and we have a degree of sympathy with the afflicted. However, they made some errors in their malicious endeavours and the matter is now in the hands of the police! Complete with codes linking back to the Three Mobile Broadband account they used. One of their vile gambits was to direct our website traffic to quite disgusting pornography sites involving children. Mistake, the police are now interested. The names of the sad deviants can be got off the record from band members, if you want to know that is!! As a band, if the mispelled and ungrammatical nonsense that was put out by them in the name of the band, wasn't so insulting to art, people, decency, society and culture - well, we would not have laughed as hard as we did!! :-) So the message to the pair of sad deviants I mentioned earlier is as follows: 'Get back under the stone and out of the sun, The Love Party bus is rolling on and on'. Also, learn to spell and learn some correct grammar, bonehead.
