It’s disgusting that hackers would do this. What could they possibly achieve? In the past, groups like Lulzsec and Anonymous hacked (with hypocritical motives) companies but you can at least see why they would do this. This on the other hand is just plain wrong.

Why does anyone do anything?

It was for the lulz, of course.

Hacker changed the account name to MrEdxwx.

Real MrEdxwx already uploaded a vid saying he isn’t responsible.

Guh, some people have WAAAAAAAAY to much time on their hands.

I miss the lulz. We haven’t had any since 2009, back before the internet became serious business.

Hacker’s reaction:

I just found this out… ow…
The Sesame Street channel is still offline, but the videos are okay (you can actually find comments on them like “I was looking for porn…”). What this even necesary? Sesame Street hasn’t done anything bad in the past.
Also, why hasn’t anyone posted this? (Thanks Reddit)

The only answer I can think of to answer “Why did this happen?” is that this may have had something to do with Occupy Sesame Street, but even that doesn’t make any sense. I guess it boils down to some sick twisted idiot willing to pervert the minds of some kids and (probably) frame two other Youtube channels.

As disgusting as this is, though, I strongly find myself asking “Why did this happen to Sesame Street’s channel?” You have no idea what I’d give to have read that JustinBieberVEVO was hacked and “Baby” was deleted and replaced with porn.

I don’t even know. Maybe someone has a grudge against puppets.

Another memory from my childhood stained forever more.

I guess this will get the hacker a lot of…

street cred.

Hey guys as mod of the page for the hacks I think I have some authority on the situation. I do think that lulzsec nor anon were responsible. It was clearly a low key hacking group or individual with a motive, also the profiles “framed” by the hackers both didn’t know about it. In closing this is not related to #occupy at all so please don’t comment on that subject at all.

Wat

Also you know being a “mod” of a page doesn’t give you authority over whatever it is.

Also, it’s much to early for the article to have been made. Muuuuuch to early.

Okay, maybe this proves the internet is a sick, twisted place, but you’ve gotta have a lot of nerve to hack into the channel of a cultural icon that is watched by millions of children daily and post smut just so you and your stupid friends can have a laugh. It sickens me.

Allow me to be the first to give you negative krama, my good sir trollington.

>Implying what happened to you should happen to everyone else.

That’s so disgusting. I can’t even discribe my feelings.

Yes I know. Oatmeal with jam? How terrible.
