Default "Worst christmas ever"

http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-30602609

A hacker group claims to have brought down XBox and PS online services. And although i usually am more differentiated about idealistic hackers trying to show people how vulnerable they have made themselves when relying so completely on technology and the WWW, these dirtbags now I would love to beat up personally and pretty badly with my own hands. Because here they hit not any adult users who can cope with the situation, but they spell disaster on many little kids who have lived towards christmas in the expectation of then being able to finally, after all that long wait, to play with their friends over the holidays, like they have seen it being done with other kids they knew form school. For a child, the perception of time is different than for us adults, and disappointments like this is felt far more intensely, then it is felt by a 20 or 30 year old. I also remember when I was a boy, and got my first chess computer - and my parents had bad luck and bought a malfunctioning piece, which they could not have known. That evening was one of the most disappointing evenings in my life, and those days I had to wait until the shops were open again were the longest of my life. Also, I am lucky to have had wonderful and really good memories of christmas days with my family when I was young. Seeing this being spoiled for kids just for malicious and sadistic motives I have zero understanding and no tolerance for.

I would love to be given some minutes with those doing this in a locked room, all alone, unobserved. They would regret what they did. Promised.
