Facebook fans of various University of Michigan athletic programs awoke Wednesday morning to late-breaking news on Kim Kardashian's "bloated frame" and its fragile armistice with a youth-sized bikini.

This unfortunate bulletin was just one of a deluge of spam stories posted by the Facebook pages of various Michigan sports teams in the wee hours of Tuesday night and Wednesday morning in what appears to be a fairly open-and-close case of online hacking.

Posts sent out to fans included celebrity clickbait posts, gross-out sliders and sex-tip listicles founded on the notion that all females are moments away from physical intimacy if you put in the right GameShark code.

Warning: The following are some truly trashy posts with truly trashy graphics.

While a fine apology for peppering fans with booty, it doesn't answer an important question: What really happens when you're flying?

You can't really be sure, can you?

Have you ever been outside an airplane when it's flying? Your windows could just be televisions looping clouds. Makes you think.

Fortunately, it appears Michigan is once again back in control of its Facebook properties.

I assume that somewhere in Silicon Valley today, Mark Zuckerberg received a concerned phone call from Jim Harbaugh about these "tattoo ladies, or whatever" on his website. A Michigan man can't have that nonsense around his boys.

Dan is on Twitter. He's just glad Harbaugh wasn't Photoshopped onto one of these images.
