This story is hilarious! In short:

  1. John McCain, Senator and Presidential hopeful, set up a Myspace page to "connect with younger audiences"
  2. He used a default theme created by the author of this prank
  3. He not only didn't credit the author of the theme, but one of the images in the theme was being pulled from the author's webservers costing him money every time someone loaded McCain's page.
  4. The Author, to teach him a lesson, changed the picture to a joke political message

Anyway, read the details for a much better description by the author himself.
