The UK Labour Party's official website has fallen victim to hackers.

On Monday morning the site's usual content of Labour Party news was replaced by an image of US President George Bush carrying his dog with Tony Blair's head superimposed on it.

The hacked material was removed from the site by 0945.

That meant visitors were again able to read the latest Labour Party news - on this occasion new health secretary John Reid's claim to have been "a Blairite before Blair was ever heard of".

BBC News Online technology correspondent Mark Ward said: "Parties across the political spectrum have one thing in common: their lax approach to computer security.

"The Labour Party isn't the first, and won't be the last, to be embarrassed like this."

Clawing his way in

Using Wolverine's razor-sharp claws to hack and slash through enemies consumes much of the game play, but strategy and stealth are also required to infiltrate high-security locations.

The title is divided into six "acts," each of which includes three or four levels of game play. Visually, the game is played from a cinematic "over the shoulder" third-person perspective. Wolverine travels to different parts of the world to fight enemies, solve puzzles, and collect key power-ups and other items.

P.S why do some of you insist on writing "LOL" or "ROFL" or "OMG THAT IS THE FUNNEST THING EVER OMG". Was it even worth the effort trying your best to communicate?

Shame it couldn't have been a funnier/more cynical defacement. They could have written "Blair smells of POO" and it would've been more cynical. They deserve worse than that!
