Passwords Hacked at RockYou

Not really sure why everyone thinks this is the Holy Grail of password analysis for hackers and so sensationalized. Who cares? This is just a little dumpy app that no one really cares if it is that secure or not. Oh my! Someone might hack it and change my song choice or pix. Not important at all and the lame password choices reflect that. I used RockYou and had a crummy password I could remember easily. Would I use that same password on my Google accounts or bank accounts? Absolutely not and neither would most people. Are there people out there who could use a little education on password security - yes. That would make a more useful story than some stupid app that could be hacked.
