Sabotage on My Group Recipe

The first thing this morning, I saw some mails blasting around commenting on my Spicy Fish recipe on GroupRecipe.com.... was not informed of the problem, but realised some left some nasty comments for me and everyone talking bout it without updating me what has happen. Worse part, the picture of the food is gone...



Later I realised that some idiots had sabotage my recipe by changing my fish to a naked lady... sexy huh? Too bad it was removed already by the moderator so I no chance of seeing it.
