This is the line added to approx. 1 million Myspace users after a javascript worm coded by a guy named Samy was let loose.

The worm spread by embedding itself into the profile pages of infected users. Whenever another Myspace user using Microsoft's Internet Explorer viewed that profile, the worm would infect them.

The only real noticable affects of the worm were:
It added Samy to the person's list of friends and
It added "but most of all, Samy is my hero" to the end of the person's list of heroes.
