Just seen this on another forum:
Check out their website: http://www.phones4u.co.uk
They have Santa at the top of the page with fishnet stockings on pissing all over their logo.
They also have Turkey's hanging with nooses around their necks at the bottom. WTF.

Based on their 'don't use us if you have no mates' advert campaign I'd suggest it hasn't been hacked at all.

Site is certainly getting hammered, although i think it's a publicity stunt

If it is a publicity stunt then it's certainly the strangest I've ever seen. Santa pissing on their logo?!

why not? This has been posted on a lot of forums and getting people talking and in turn pulling in the punters to the site. Plus, if a site is hacked they'd usually take down the whole site not add a few images

I doubt its a publicity stunt, having a pissing santa and dead turkey's isnt exactly the greatest PR in the world.

God Lord that took ages to load. Almost like dial up.
If it has been hacked, why haven't phones4u done anything about it? I would of thought a big company like that would have an expert IT team to sort this stuff out.
Unless it was an inside job! :O
