A Sorry Bunch

We can't tell if this is parody or self-parody, though we suspect the latter--and in either case, it's hilarious. Late last week a new Web site, SorryEverybody.com, appeared on the scene. Here's its manifesto:

Some of us--hopefully most of us--are trying to understand and appreciate the effect our recent election will have on you, the citizens of the rest of the world. As our so-called leaders redouble their efforts to screw you over, please remember that some of us--hopefully most of us--are truly, truly sorry. And we'll say we're sorry, even on the behalf of the ones who aren't.

The site features a photo gallery of sad sacks holding up signs saying things like "49% of us still hate Bush" and "Everybody, half of Ohio is really, really sorry. Don't hate us."

Already there's a metaparody, a site called WereNotSorry.com: "A majority of us went out and voted on Nov. 2nd for President Bush. There is no reason for us to apologize to the rest of the world because of our belief in Freedom and Democracy." Its photo gallery features such slogans as "Sorry we won! In your face!"
