Hacker Morphs Spanish Prez Into Mr. Bean

A hacker yesterday redirected visitors to Spain's EU presidency website to a page replacing Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero's image with that of Mr. Bean. The goofy, benign comedy character appeared with the words: "Hi there." Zapatero's resemblance to Rowan Atkinson's bumbling character is a long-running joke in Spain, the BBC reports. A leading newspaper recently portrayed Zapatero as Mr. Bean in an editorial critical of the prime minister's handling of the economy.
