Website suggestion: Who Wants To Be Swiftboated?

[Bossy Monkey]

Admittedly two years late, but still. Does anyone have the programming skills and web presence to do something like this? It would be a simple quiz, where the visitor is asked their age, highest educational attainment, job or career, marital status, and other lifestyle-type questions like that. Then they'd get back a little essay libeling them to the high heavens (or low hells, I dunno). If they have a bachelor's degree, say they spent their college years smoking dope and being inculcated with fuzzy-headed liberal ideals. If they're single and over 25, say, say they're gay. (No, I don't think that constitutes libel or indeed anything bad; just representing the swiftboat style.) And on like that. Can anybody do this? Would it be fun? Interesting? Instructive? I think it might make the less-informed among us (at last count everybody except for present company) think more (or indeed at all) about the slanders and libels perpetrated by the Republicans against us and our candidates every day. Yes?

1. Or not...

2. IMHO, probably not a good idea these days. People are so edgy

and the lawyers are eager to get new clients. Really, you would want to get into a situation like that now, would you? We did have a problem with a web site called scamdy.com which arose here on the DU, but I don't want to go into it if you don't already know about it. PM me if you wish.

On a positive note, I'm always interested in how much information there is on the Internet about so many people.

I just found a distant cousin who is the grandchild of a great-uncle of mine (my grandfather's brother's grandson). I have his name, job information, home address and even his telephone number. I lived in the same Massachusetts town as he and his wife and didn't know it until last week. Sorry I didn't get this information sooner, because now I'm a continent away! However, I still plan to try and get in touch with him the next time we're on the East Coast!
