When you fight with WikiLeaks, they fight back — by repeatedly stinging your genitals.

At least that’s how Stephen Colbert described it last night when discussing the ongoing battle between the WikiLeaks-affiliated hacker group Anonymous and a counter-hacking agency.

Fearing that WikiLeaks may possess incriminating documents revealing corporate malfeasance, Bank of America sought the services Aaron Barr, CEO of the security firm HB Gary, to take WikiLeaks down. Yet when Barr announced that he would go after Anonymous first, the hacker community struck back, stealing all his emails and wiping his files.

“To put that in hacker terms, Colbert said, “Anonymous is a hornet’s nest, and Barr said ‘I’m gonna stick my penis in that thing.”‘
