Then again, I'm calling these people technical, apparently it's a simpler game now with scripts that any regular Joe (or his 14-year old kid) can run.
When HFG defaced the New York Times Web site in 1998, the group posted a long, apparently heartfelt screed that cited Voltaire, Tennyson, and Emerson, and tried to put the hacking in the context of big battles that mattered: "Just because we type in all caps and use 'elite' speak doesn't mean we are kids, or we don't own your dumb ass. For everyone who calls us immature kids, it shows one more person has underestimat…
Also, grabbing an SNL password means nothing for the SNL site, and everything for the security of users that reuse passwords. The value of a password database rarely has to do with the site it's from.
I see nothing suspicious. Has it been fixed?
The page probably hasn't finished loading am I right? It appears to be loading some javascript from diskusjon.fiskehelse.org but due to the amount of traffic diskusjon.fiskehelse.org is probably getting, well, a tad overwhelmed.
I never understood publicly defacing a site like this, if you're technical enough to access a domain with a fair amount of traffic, why not inject some script that'll give the visitor a drive-by download, and go in for the long (and more profitable) game?

Because the point isn't to cause damage to the user in any way (usually), but rather to (some combination of) 1) show off your skills, 2) embarrass the site owners, 3) get a message out, 4) have bragging rights. It's generally a fairly non-destructive practice, just silly.
They always put up the worst HTML

What would give them more technical credibility in you eyes? If they wrote the attack themselves? In C? In Assembly? We all automate the hell out of things and lean toward the highest level languages for server automation anyway, why demean them when everything is a 'simpler game now with scripts that any regular Joe can run.' Have you seen Chef or Puppet, Flask or Rails?
Hah. I always find it funny how the same people who are capable of hacking these high profile websites haven't updated their design, HTML and CSS knowledge since the '90s. Scrolling marquees and the horrible moving star background.. really? Plus the remainder of the page is totally screwed up. Here's a screenshot for when they notice: http://i.imgur.com/UT4we.png
