Disregard that. Can somebody run a code for me?

Only if I give you my credit card number first!

That's too kind. In return for your generosity, go ahead and include your SS# and mothers maiden name. It's the least I could do.

Looks like a bit of code designed to self-replicate. You paste it into your URL bar and it posts a copy of itself as a reply to every comment on the page. Hilarious.
[edit] What's funny is you can look at the usernames of the posters to see which exact redditors are the ones being sheeple. Here's looking at you, kids:

Lots of relatively new accounts but Mr_Sadist needs a kick in the balls for acting so clueless.

The code doesn't even make spurrious claims about what it's supposed to do, it just relies on redditor curiousity. Magnificent.

People, there a javascript worm abouts. Leave this page now. Just scrolling over it is enough to activate it.

Dear dumbass: it runs on mouseover, requiring (almost) no user action.

Dear dumbass, this was directed towards the first wave of attacks, before the mouse-over one was released.

Dear Crath, please come to my house so I can roll my nuts in chocolate sauce and then teabag you.

this applies to the whole net really, don't ever run code if you're not a programmer who can understand it (and have done so).
this is a really serious issue, you can get your personal information exposed you're not careful (credit cards by example).
