MI6 Trolled Al Qaeda, using cupcakes.

[Cue]

UK spy agency MI6 is reported to have hacked one of the Jihadist publications that supports al Qaeda's cause, replacing bomb making recipes with ingredient and cooking instructions for that most dastardly of culinary weapons: cupcakes.

And this is why our MI6 is better than your FBI, we have an awesome sense of humour.

Wow... I'm hungry now...

I was expecting that MLP fanfic.

This amused me however, so I am ok with this.

I think not. :P

Personally I think this is just totally hilarious. I wonder what the members of Al Qaeda think of this...

I would not be surprised if the people who did that watched MLP...

To those who have seen My Little Pony, Cupcakes are dangerous. Make them wrong and they become biological weapons.

actually, said "baked bads" are actually quite delicious I hear.

Say what about cake in a cup?

I'm adding this to the many reasons I love the British.

Pinkie Pie's cupcake song was the first thing that came to mind when I saw this thread.

All you have to do is take a cup of flour
Add it to the mix
Now just take a little something sweet, not sour
A bit of salt, just a pinch

Baking these treats is such a cinch
Add a teaspoon of vanilla
Add a little more, and you count to four
And you never get your fill of...!

Cupcakes – so sweet and tasty
Cupcakes – don't be too hasty
Cupcakes – cupcakes, cupcakes, CUPCAKES!

...aaaand now I can't sleep.

... Why not a cake recipe?
The cake is a lie...

Because Bronies know cakes in cups are better.


In all seriousness, they should never have blown their cover. Maybe it wouldn't have been as funny, but it would have been pretty smart of them to just change the ingredients slightly, so that the bombs wouldn't work. Or for that matter, so the bomb would blow up in the face of the person making it.

^ One of the few serious posts in this thread.

I feel like a very confused outsider within a herd of multicoloured ponies.

But the cupcake thing was good too. Perhaps encouraging people to spread love?

I have to agree with Charybdizs on the fact that it is somewhat dumb to make the change so obvious instead of simply making the recipe not work. Yes it is funny. But it is also obvious and most likely won't work that long. Now they know their site has been hacked and can fix it sooner.
