The British woman who threw a neighbor's cat into the trash can has been charged with two animal cruelty offenses. Score another for 4chan, whose /b/ board hunted Bale and will presumably campaign to jail her in a rubbish bin.

4chan and movie piracy are closely linked: Many of the anarchic message board's users frequent sites like the Pirate Bay to download movies they can watch alone in their parents' basement. Now, 4chan is attacking the champions of anti-piracy efforts.

We've already explained how the cuddly Pedobear is an Internet joke—not a 'mascot' pedophiles use to lure their prey. Reporters and police in Tulsa, Oklahoma obviously don't read Gawker. In America's Heartland, a full-blown Pedobear Panic is underway.

Pedobear is a meme featuring a cute cartoon bear who pops up wherever people are being creepy about kids on the Internet. Cops in California don't understand this, and have issued a hilarious warning about Pedobear.

Bosnian police say they've identified the teen filmed throwing puppies in a river. (She now faces a $6,400 fine for animal cruelty.) The girl lives in a town called Bugojno, which means 4chan was probably correct in its identification.

4chan, the anarchic Internet messageboard, appears to be experiencing an identity crisis. Whereas terror campaigns against tweens were once planned amid stomach-churning images, a strong streak of do-gooderism has taken hold. In fact, 4chan is being downright nice these days.

The hunt for Puppy-Throwing Girl just got a lot more explosionier: Michael Bay, director of Victoria's Secret commercials and giant robot movies, has placed a $50,000 bounty on information leading to the arrest of the famed animal abuser.

On Monday, this graphic video of an unknown girl throwing puppies into a river appeared online, much to the consternation of internet-using animal-lovers everywhere. But don't fret: The weirdos and agitators of 4chan's /b/ are hot on the trail.

This week, the Internet was transfixed by the Evil British Cat Bin Woman, Mary Bale, who was caught on tape throwing a neighbor's cat into a trash can. Guess who tracked her down? The web marauders of 4chan's /b/ board.

The Daily Mail is reporting 4chan users uploaded porn to YouTube. It's a year old.

Called to testify against the Sarah Palin email "hacker," 4chan founder Chris Poole somehow found himself delivering a federal courtroom tutorial on the meaning of "newfag" and other slang from his anarchic message board. Lulz are now in session.

It seems like so long ago Jessi Slaughter was the 11-year-old girl brought to tears by Internet bullies. Now she has announced that she's launching a clothing line in a new video. OK, it's time to say goodbye Jessi!

"The cops are watching the Internet... you are being federally investigated!" screamed Jessi Slaughter's father on this recording of a recent Tinychat session gone awry. The Internet's most famous 11-year-old is back—and it's ugly. Videos and more, inside.

Chris Poole is looking for hackers for his new startup Canvas Networks, which is pretty strange considering the last website he started, 4chan, is notoriously a place teeming with, uh, hackers. Going legit isn't always an intuitive process.

We've asked whether hacker website 4chan is a cyberbully. We've asked what they have against 11-year-old girls. But has anyone thought to ask about 4chan's political persuasion? Because Oregon's Tea Party just stole their slogan.

After a court-ordered absence, Jessi Slaughter has returned to the Internet in a big way

Good Morning America was supposed to air a follow-up today to yesterday's report on 11-year-old cyberbullying victim Jessi Slaughter. It got spiked. Why? For one thing, a harassment campaign by 4chan users discouraged GMA's cyberbullying expert from going back on.

If you logged onto 4chan's anarchic /b/ message board today, you would have found a changed place. Soft music played. Instead of prodigious amounts of child porn and virulent racism, there was only a little bit. What happened?

Have you heard the story of Jessi Slaughter, the cautionary tale of an ill-tempered girl with a webcam, her family, and the nefarious minds at 4Chan? Here's everything you need to know about the latest Internet sensation.

Anarchic internet hangout 4chan sent a little more hate Gawker's way today, launching a denial of service attack against our website, spamming our email accounts and even trying to bother one staffer's spouse. All so we'd stop talking about them.
