4chan Declares War On Snow 201
With all the recent hacktivism in the news, Anonymous has decided to take on a new and powerful enemy: snow. On Sunday the group announced that it will "do everything in its power to shut snow down by attacking the Weather Channel and North Face websites, boycotting outerwear, and voting for the sun as Time’s 2010 Person Of The Year." I'm sure there are a lot of people in Minneapolis right now that would wish them luck.

Seriously, with all this Wikileaks bullshit I was getting worried Anonymous might have forgotten about the lulz.

Seriously. No, I'm not kidding, I think this is one of the smartest things that could be done.
Why?
Because they just reduced themselves back from "a political activist platform" to "14 year olds with too much time on their hands". Before you consider the ego, consider how the powers that are (tm) will react to either.
Whether they are one or the other, what do I know? I only know that being the latter means that nobody will seriously try to bring you down, while being the former just might get you too much attention from organizations whose attention is something you don't want if you want to continue living, working and having fun in peace.
