My wife teaches 8th grade and I did something similar with her classes a couple of years ago. My example was pulling up a NASA twitter post and changing it to read "Mrs. BLAH is the best teacher in the universe!" (or something like that). They thought it was incredible and couldn't believe you could "hack" computers like that.

This type of thing is also a really good teaching moment; you can't always believe everything you see on the Internet or a screenshot.
