Giant Mall Under Siege
Hackers briefly shut down Yahoo, eBay,
Amazon, Buy.com. Oh the humanity! Oh
the shopping!

I think this headline writer is more perceptive than they realize. 

Maybe these DOS attacks are just payback for all those fucking .com ads
on television. Shit, I spent the weekend on the couch with the flu and I
was getting downright violent after watching the millionth .com ad
promoting some scumbag company.

The web isn't a mall, so I'm playing an awfully small violin for the
corporations who have been the object of these attacks. Why not have a
permanent DOS war against the Giant Mall? It would be the virtual
equivalent of Mojo Nixon's song "Burn Down the Malls."
