It is a little unfair. Not much, but a little.... Now all you need is a bit of code like that spams a mailing list / news.group or three with a singularly inappropriate form of "hello world". I sure the laziness of all the people who execute first, work out how it does it later, will ensure that your "hello world" is truly considered harmful.
