Any true fan of Star Wars knows that Jar Jart Binks is one of the most despised Star Wars characters of all time. Our readers may recall that Jar Jar Binks first appears in The Phantom Menace as very bumbling and some would say annoying Gungan who set off a wave of almost vitriolic hatred from the true fans.  I think you all get the point:  Jar Jat Binks is not very well liked.  So if someone compares you to Jar Jar Binks, they are basically saying that you are not cool.  Yes, its a somewhat hurtful thing to say.

Well, world-renowned star Ronaldinho experienced this kind of diss, though in the arena of cyber space.  A hacker recently broke into his official web site and defaced it with images of Jar Jar Binks and Osama Bin Laden.  The hacker who claimed responsibility for this breach is a person by the name of Terrorist MC.

While we admit that Ronaldinho may resemble Jar Jar Binks in physical appearance, its not a very nice thing to do. As this attack was more of a form of online graffiti as opposed to a malicious attack, it shows how anyone can become the target of a hacker. The outcome may not be financial devastation, or customers data being pilfered, it could simply be used to embarrass people even international soccer stars.

As highlighted in the Naked Security blog, heres the image of the original site, followed by the hacked version:
