A fiver says somebody did it for a laugh.
It's got internet humour all over it, this one.

A few miles away from the resort she disappeared at, an advert for a very similar property. I wouldn't be surprised if it were a b3tan what done it.

Yup, their website seems to be down at the moment. It's more likely due to high traffic than anything else.
They don't even have sitelinks, they're extremely low level.

Well, BBC are on it too, I think all the major news source will have it by the end of the day.
I'll tell you one thing though, the guy who did it won't do it again. This is the sort of fuck-up you learn from.

Like that time I forgot to run a process
and nearly stopped the company from paying its staff. Only different.

Haha, my worst one was a hard drive with 9 months worth of data collecting dying without backup.
I cried myself to sleep every night for a week, mostly because it was me who was collecting the data at 17 years old.

It's pretty common on low-level websites, especially in not-quite-so-western countries, to just google "Little girl in pool" and still any image from google.
It's probably a public domain picture too. I've done it myself with non-comercial ventures, it's how the internet works. Combine that with the fact that the source site probably was in english, and that the McCains are media whores, and you've got how it happened right there.
