LA Times hacked? Article on Virgin welcoming visitors with “Zig Hail!”

I pulled up my feeds in Google Reader this morning and followed a link to this L.A. Times article on Virgin’s new L.A. to Sydney route, and was met with an unexpected Javascript pop-up: “Zig hail!”

Is this a leftover April Fool’s prank? Have their servers been compromised? I’m at a loss trying to figure out why someone at the Times would choose such a phrase to greet their readers. (Not to mention they failed to spell it correctly.)

I’ve taken a screen shot above in case they remove the alert. Until then you can see it for yourself here.

Update: That was quick. It’s already been removed.
