New rootkit virus installs BitTorrent client to download movies

A new rootkit installs the P2P BitTorrent client and downloads movies to your hard drive. One of the initial movies downloaded via this new virus included Mr. Bean, which tops my "All-time Worst Movie ever Created" list. I hate Mr. Bean - with a passion. To this day I have not forgotten that my former roommate Harris Sugarman suggested to me and Vic Batsu that we see this movie. "It's funny," Harris promised, "It earned over $100 million in the U.K." What were the British thinking when they said "Mr. Bean Set for Global Domination" and that Mr. Bean would even top British comic Benny Hill? Benny Hill was a funny British comedian - Mr. Bean sadly is not. Maybe it's a cultural difference between America and the U.K. because when Vic, Harris, and I left the theater there was this eery silence as both Vic and I stared Harris down - as if to say "What the f- were you thinking?" Needless to say none of us enjoyed the movie.

Seriously, I'd rather hear nails on a chalkboard, I'd rather see the Red Sox defeat my beloved New York Yankees, I'd rather watch Barney the Dinosaur than have to see one of Mr. Bean's movies ever again! I lost 90 minutes of my lifetime watching this horrendous movie that I will never get back again. Thanks again Harris.angry

Why? Why? Why would you waste precious Internet bandwidth surreptitiously transmitting Mr. Bean to someone else's hard drive? Why not at least put something worth watching, like Batman Begins or Lord of the Rings on their hard disk? Seriously. Wasting 4GB of hard disk space to store DVD quality Mr. Bean is just adding insult to injury after you've already infected their PC with a rootkit. Cruel... Very cruel...

I take it you're not a big Mr Bean fan, thentongue

I like Mr Bean....

Actually I used to hate him too, but after watching him, he kinda grew on me.

Tom,
I am guessing that you have never seen Yahoo! Serious, Excorcist II or Over the Top...

Over the Top - Yes. Mr. Bean still worse.
Exorcist II - nope. haven't seen it.
Yahoo Serious - parts of it. Dumb for sure, but on the same level as Beavis and Butthead. Mr. Bean still worse.

I'm a Mr Bean Fan, all his videos are funny. I'm American, and alot of us funny guys love new stuff to make ppl laugh

You are all spending far too much time online...

he's always get it cool.

are you serious? mr bean is hilarious. you just dont have a broad sense of humor.

Mr bean funny.
Why do you hate Mr bean so much? I love him.

you are crazy!! mr. bean is amazing your just jealous you dont have his style

You're just jealous of his good looks and charisma.

Mr. bean is fucking hilarious. no matter how many times I see the same episode or movie of him, i still crack up just as bad as the time before. it is one of those comedies that you can watch as many times as you want and it is still just as funny. besides mr bean is my hero because my last name is bean.
