For those of you not familiar (or need a refresher), 4chan released a password that allowed access to Sarah Palin's (former vice-presidential running mate to John McCain) email account. You can scout around for the original story, but the gist of it is that 22-year-old David Kernell used that password to hack into her account and was caught (by the Cyberpolice, maybe?).

Christopher "Moot" Poole (4chan's fearless leader and admin) was called to testify about the event since the password was leaked on 4chan. For whatever reason, both the prosecution and defense teams for the case questioned Moot about some common 4chan "slang," including "new fags", "/b/ tard", and "rick roll."

Check it out on the following Businessinsider link.

I was just about to post that…

Sorry, mate. Here's a cinnamon bun as a token of good faith -

Q: Like "OP," what is OP?

First thing to come to my mind?

Sorta related: Didn't the last episode of Law and Order have a computer hacker with the alias moot?

@Hamilton Turtle – Why am I not surprised you would post that?

There were so many simple terms on there which even i knew before i found out about 4chan (or KYM for that matter)

This is what I was like when I read this Fourm (Change the Girl with a Boy :P)

Q: and 404?

HERP DERP

Wow our court systems are shamefully inefficient.

Gentlemen, we have a meme.

Quick bring in Rick Ashley..

Damn you, marimba! Now I'm never gonna give you up…

I am pleased with the amount of Rick Astley.

True story: I can Rickroll by clicking my tongue.

But anyways…

This is really bad. I'm considering introducing this judge to the Rickroll.

The music, pictures, and fail, make this thread epic.

"…Q. However, do certain rules apply?

A. Yes, there is a note that all /b/ global or a handful of /b/ global rules apply to the /b/ board.

Q. And what is the first rule for the /b/ board and all boards?

A. Do not post any material that violates local or United States law."

Ladies and gentlemen, can you imagine the amount of restraint it must have taken to not say, "Do not talk about /b/"?

EDIT: Moar lulz
