      Well, FWIW, as per TheOatmeal (the clue is in the tweet): http://theoatmeal.com/djtaf/j/88

      But, tbh, the answer is completely over my head. Maybe you need to be a septic to understand it (or find it funny)?

      <--- Paris, because she's friends with Lindsay.

        Yes, looks like she, or someone, accidentally clicked the "tweet this joke" link here:

          Could be, could be, know what I mean (nudge, nudge).

          As a non-native Englsh speaker I would never have guessed, though, so thanks for elucidating.

          I tend to agree with Mattyod lower down: I guess she wanted to click on the "answer" button, but hit the "Tweet this..." link instead (DT's, or maybe just a bit unsteady after a wild night, who knows?).

          <--- DT cure, obviously.

    Pray?

    Why waste your breath? Get up and do something practical, something that will actually make a difference.

    Pray indeed. Yeesh.

      As if praying will do anything positive!

      Oi, Lohan, it's your effing God that has done this (apparently), how about praying for a less malevolent God?

      Or is it all down to us unbelievers unleashing the wrath of . . . ah, what's the point, I don't expect irony has much of a hold in that head.

    You forgot the inverted commas...

    Change her password

    > Whatever happened, the El Reg security desk advises Lohan to change her password.

    I'd suggest it'd be better if her minders change her password, and then not tell her what it is.

    I'm guessing she clicked the link on this page: http://theoatmeal.com/djtaf/j/88

    She should change her password - to one she can't remember. Then we'd all be spared her drivel.

      Or something that she can't type drunk. And you, too.

    I'm not buying it

    she claims she's been hacked all the time. Specifically every time she does something stupid.

      Re: I'm not buying it

      Are you suggesting she gets actually hacked twice as often --- but then doesn't come clean when a hacker posts something nice or smarter than she could have?

    Not sure...

    If she's still in NYC, she was probably angry that the bars were closed.

    If you go to the oatmeal and click on the 'tweet this joke' you get redirected to twitter and if you are logged in it's one click to send the following unsurprisingly similar tweet:

    How does Hitler tie his shoes? http://theoatmeal.com/djtaf/j/88 from @oatmeal

    Somehow the link got removed and it then started to look all the more odd.

    I don't get it

    Do you now go to jail if the word "Hilter" appears anywhere in .... OOPS

  13. Gazareth

    In these cases, I tend read 'Hacked'

    as mate got hold of my phone & stitched me up...

  14. Greg J Preece

    I don't get why a post with the word "Hitler" in it is offensive, and the other one isn't regarded as callous fuckwittery.

    Is her account hacked every time she writes something stupid?

      Is her account hacked every time she writes something stupid?

      Well, odds are pretty good she googles her own password whenever she wants to post, so technically her account is being hacked, but it is a self-inflicted wound - in much the same way that her posts are.

    The real question.......

    Is how this will affect LOHAN!

    Will we have to get a new celebutante backronym now? If not, does anyone have a picture of Hitler tying his shoes that we can render into a decal to go on LOHAN? Or maybe we can Photoshop LiLo into an existing pic of Der Fuhrer?

    LiLo = DiLdo

    Mork Fuckerburg announced this morning that "Twatter", a brand new social media networking and micro-blogging service created specifically for Lindsay Lohan and her 2 fans, Paris Hilton and Jimmy Savile, will go online tomorrow.

    The site has massive bandwidth to cater for expected invasion by the swarms of mindless sycophants and assorted arse-kissers who hope to claim their fifteen minutes of fame by Twatting with LiLo.

    Lohan said she will use the Twatter alias @DiLdo "to avoid confusion with that other network that lets my account get hacked every time I say something dumb".
