TechCrunch, the Michael Arrington-founded blog that people either love or love to hate, got hacked Tuesday morning at 1:30 a.m. ET. The site went down for an hour, came back online briefly, and then went down again a couple of hours later.

Rather than being treated to TechCrunch's usual commentary, visitors were greeted with the message, "What a [expletive] useless hack, isn't it? Bleh," and were redirected to a porn site.
