Today I went to pay my internet bill (we have LUS Fiber, which is awesomely fast and has been very reliable). I accidentally typed in lusfiber.net instead of lusfiber.com. Both apparently go to the same place, but I'm wary of being sent to a fraudulent site when I type in the wrong address. In addition, I couldn't remember if it should be a .org address, like the general utility site lus.org. To make sure I was at the right place, I searched Google for lus fiber. The top hit was the right site, and I saw it was lusfiber.com.
However, there were some funny things about the hit in the search results. Firstly I noticed that the search result had the title of the page as "LUS Fiber | 100% All Cialis". From my years of sorting through spam, I've come to know of Cialis as a drug for erectile dysfunction. It's generally not something I associate with my local government owned internet provider. Also, the brief page extract below the link was "Interested in LUS Fiber for Business Services? Click Here. It had been discriminated after monogamy, that the juarez sex had receive to make his night and all ..." This definitely didn't seem normal.
When I went to the page, I found the normal page. However, I was intrigued. Did my internet provider's website get hacked? I went back to the Google results and followed the link to the cached copy of the page. I was greeted by an amazing essay that is staggeringly and amusingly incoherent. It looks like a computer generated madlib advertising Cialis. I have preserved the cache page at http://gpages.x10.mx/lus_gcache.htm. I will warn you that there are a few anatomical references peppered throughout. The title of this post is a quote from the cacophony of words. It almost reminds me of a really bad translation, like The Backstroke of the West, but it's so off the wall I have a hard time seeing what it possibly could mean.
On a side note, I got distracted with the process of mirroring that page, and never got around to paying my bill.
