The Colbert Report: Japanese Hackers Are Out to Get Us

By John | Wednesday, August 25, 2010 | 6 Comments

The other night, Stephen Colbert reported that a Japanese hacker by the name of Masato Nakatsuji had been arrested for writing a computer virus that replaced all the files on a person’s computer with images of squid – infecting an estimated 20,000 to 50,000 computers. Now I can understand why a hacker would want to write a virus or worm to steal passwords or someone’s files, but WTF – replace files with images of squid? Talk about a total waste of time and effort.

    At the 0:08 mark Colbert goes, “Asians are out to get us.” Is this show made geared only for white people?

    Unless they’re conservative. Then they don’t know he is joking:

    He’s great, but he does not allow his kids to watch his shows.
