That's pretty genius. Unfortunately it seems that's where his intelligence ended, he went back to the well too many times and was caught.

I'm really surprised that nobody noticed

Too bad he got caught. I like when people steal from the rich

That looks like a really shitty attempt. He didn't even have a mask or anything. Amazed that it actually worked.

Yeah, Cloudflare links are fine, it's one of the more common ways of mitigating large volumes of traffic so sites don't just fold in on themselves when they get linked to from places like Lemmy. Akamai is another one you might see, the general class of product is called a CDN.

Not sure if a guy hiding in a mall rises to the level of "news", but it made me smile so we'll let the votes decide. :)

That's what they did in Bad Santa. But it was a snowman instead of a mannequin.
