Gawker noticed the @AllFOXNews Twitter account was hacked around 5:30pmET – and it still appears to in the grasps of some 13-year-old boy (we’re guessing).

Sample tweet: “We want to make out with Barack Obama. That’s how much we love him.” And of course, a lot of naughty language. Take a look:

As of 6:30pmET, it still appears to be under the control of…well someone. According to the bio, this feed used to represent: “All The FOX News Twitter accounts in one place!”

Now Bill O’Reilly‘s going to have to go after these non-fair-and-balanced Twitter hackers.

> Update: As of 6:38pmET, the account is now suspended. We have a call into Fox News to see what just happened.

> Update at 7pmET: Fox News tells us the account never belonged to them (and apparently was just someone taking their RSS feed – until today). Fox tells us they talked to Twitter about it and had the account taken down. Mystery solved! (The real Fox Twitter accounts: Twitter.com/foxnews, Twitter.com/foxbusiness.)

I don’t think Bill will go after the hackers. He didn’t publicly acknowledge the hacking of his website last September. Also, he’s on vacation right now. This will be long forgotten when he returns next Tuesday.

It’s too bad that they shut down the account. At first, I thought that they just decided to start telling the truth. Those had to be the most entertaining tweets I’ve ever read!!
