    Actually, I don't think any hacking was involved. What probably happened is that they guy who created the ebay listing used remote links to pull the graphics for his description from someone else's site (a no-no without permission). The webmaster for the ATV company who owns the server where the graphics are hosted found out about it (probably by looking at his server's referrer log) and decided to make copies of the original graphics on his site (the graphics with the 1 on the end of the filename) and change his local HTML code to point to the new names (so that his local site still functioned normally). Then he modified the original files (which were being called from the ebay description) in order to make his point. I think he made it. :)
