Action Alert: Website pretending to be the official White House website

The offending website is www.whitehouse.org | August 13, 2002 | myself

You'd better just forget about it. Whitehouse.org has been around for at least a year. It's quite obviously a parody, and is totally legal. The parody site whitehouse.net has been around since 1996 (and yes, they nailed Clinton just as much), while whitehouse.com is a pure pay-for-porn site.

The real lesson to be learned here is: If you ever start a company or organization or serious web site, you'd better buy all four domain names at once (*.com, *.net, *.org and *.us). And for God's sake, whatever you do, don't buy them from Verisign.

I agree with you about the site design, at a cursory glance it looks very deceiving, but they do have warnings on the site saying it is not official, blah blah.

Hey, it was good for a chuckle or two, thanks for the link!

sometimes we see sometime and we have an initial reaction (you immediately login to FR, click post, and write up a post) you then cool down and change ur mind about it after thinking more about. This can happen to anyone.

Verisign sucks

With stuff like this up on the site, what are you worried about? It's a parody site..more over, I hope some idiot's out there actually buy this shirt...It will only lend credence to our cause when the "old" democrats see young pissant kid's wearing this tripe..Their no fools, they see where the younger "democrat" is going..And, being in a "once was" union area, they don't like it.

I rather like post #16..pretty damn cool...

[Timesink]

Verisign sucks

Exactly my point!

Oh there is one whitehouse dot that's worse you're not trying hard enough.

[StopDemocratsDotCom]

which co. do u use?

RW, you gotta put your frenzied pace back in the cannister.

This "awful" site is soothing compared to others.

Put the world in perspective, beginning with your own attitudes.

Attempting to stop sites on the intern-et is like trying to stop King Kong from climbing the Empire State Building by grabbing and pulling a hair on the big ape's ass.

You could be in for a large bowel movement...

it sucks looking like an idiot though....but hey, if you can't take the heat, don't post on FR.....:)

Well, I really need to get to bed.

[Michael Barnes]

of course you mean whiteshouse.com

WARNING!!!! WHITEHOUSE.COM IS A PORN SITE...

With that said, I'll meet ya there..

I'm joking.............................maybe..

[rwfromkansas]

lol....I am aware of the .com whitehouse site.

After listening to comments here on the thread, I definitely blew this way out of proportion.

[freeasinbeer]

No worries! This is supposed to be informative and fun, not Pulitzer material!

[primeval patriot]

bump for Democrats.... Buncha big ol' flag mangling traitors!

[Timesink]
