About as interesting as why a schoolboy carves his name into a desk with a compass point.

A fitting punishment would be for a "hacker" to get random excepts from his victims blogs tattooed on his face.

The first line of your comment is pretty insightful. The rest, not so much. It seems you've fallen victim to exactly what you're criticizing.

It's to illustrate the mentality. After all, wouldn't someone else just tattoo his face? No? So that's not much of an excuse for defacing someone else's property.

A brand of H on both cheeks would do as well.

Because defacing a website is the same as stealing or tattooing someone's face.

Nice moral balance you have there.
