2) Hacker or cracker story
The presidential election was held on the 21st of March 2009 in Slovakia. Unfortunately this is not very famous in Slovakia, but local politicals and also hackers saw campaignes of candidates as very boring, so some hackers changed web sites of these candidates and put there fictitious statement.
E.g. They put the statement on the web page of Ivan Gašparovič: "Uncle Fico put all this stuff into my head but I can not say to anyone.. Honestly, I do not believe him too much, that he does it for my best. Back to the Presidential salary I am quite satisfied and I have said, why would not I acquiesce to him? I still do not want to go on retirement."
