Can Viral Marketing Go To Far?

Oatmeal just set up an extremely ballsy cross site scripting hack to show how easy it is to fake 20 links across a variety of government sites.

Should they decide to leave the post up this could be a massive viral link builder, especially if someone decides to Digg it. But it does help reinforce the negative seo = hacker stereotype, and if we know anything, it's that the US government doesn't f*ck around when it comes to stuff like this.

Further than I would have had the guts to go. Let's hope his next post isn't from Gitmo.

Update: Ugh, I mean "Too Far" in the title. Oh well, not going to change it now.
