Thats such an insane over reaction that its unbelievable, and yeah all 8000 were the same message sent by the same person from the same email address, still disturbing but while technically true the headline implies something entirely different from the actual story.

As much as I'd love to shit on Japan, that headline is basically a lie, even if true.

The implication of receiving 8000 messages is that thousands of people sent those messages, not one dude running a bash script.

Damn, I was about to wonder what the fuck was going in Japan.

If that's true then the headline is more insane than the actual news.

Happy to hear this. Otherwise I would have been shocked.
