Tell HN: someone hacked thesixtyone

In what appears to be an immature backlash from a disgruntled user, someone hacked thesixtyone. Although I agree thesixtyone's new design has adversely affected its usability, this was probably not the way to protest that fact. What do you guys think; is this a harmless form of protest or are there other more effective ways to express disgruntled feelings?

Edit: It looks like it has been taken down, but there was a page that had discordant noise with statements protesting the 'sucky' new design.
