Shocking but apparently true. Ripped from the tabloid headlines of BlackHat Planet. It's the talk of Twitter. Here's the inside scoop.

The post even says this is bogus:

Post title edited, lets keep it real and not start false rumors, cry wolf, or start unnecesary fire drills

That blackhat planet site scrapes the crap out of the Blizzard blog too

I just did some research:

Interestingly enough - they have a PR of 3 on their homepage.  Domain is registered to Dominic LaChance of Informuscorp.com.  Informuscorp.com comes up as a SEO company from canada.  Their homepage states:

We use professional and ethical search engine optimization techniques to gain top search engine rankings for your business or organization.

Hpefully blackhatplanet is a nasty joke and not how they "really" do business - but I'm not holding my breath

HA - and they have a thing in their footer at informuscorp that says "page protected by COPYSCAPE DO NOT COPY"  WTF?

IMO, SEW Blog is no place to joke about things like that.

Agreed re: SEW blog.  Keep that for serious matters only. Take the sense of humor, if that's what this is, out of the news if SEW is going to stay a serious site.
