Yet another weak-assed DU parody.

It goes to show that even a stupid monkey can be trained to do a view/source on a webpage.

[Darranar]

1. Racist, right-wing, hate website....

What BS.

[expatriot]

2. I love their Top 10 most harmful events of the past 50 years...

1. re-election of Bill Clinton in 96
2. the o.j simpson verdict
3-10 coming soon.


wow. the re-election of bill clinton in 96 was worse than all the wars, natural disasters, famine, disease of the past 50 years. And even using their logic... wouldnt Clinton's ELECTION in 92 be categorically worse than his re-election in 96 since if his election wouldn't have occured there would have been no re-election. and the o.j simpson verdict? c'mon... this parodist obviously has an obsession with race... especially since one of his lead 'articles' is dissing the NAACP... and then they turn around and swear they're not racist... geez

[Blue-Jay]

3. I like this one!

Have you noticed how Europe's socialist governments and people only hate America when a Republican president is in office?

Yes I have. Go figure.

[CSI Willows]

4. I'm betting $50 dollars that this was created by someone my dad knows...

...he's not intelligent enough to make one himself. This site is an awful load of crap. My god!

[expatriot]

5. "The Final Solution" or "The Dumbass Compromise"

from the site:

Here's a solution. The left coast and the north east coast states should secede from America and join forces with their socialist-pacifist brethren in Canada to form the Northern Alliance of Weasels. (And take all 50 million registered Democrats with you.) The rest of us can then enjoy a United States of America as intended by our forefathers and as governed by their Constitution."


but we should get the upper midwest too... yeah the forefathers were all about fascism.

[BlueJazz]

21. The poor bastard that wrote that ...

...paragraph doesn't have any idea that if such an event took place
(spliting up the USA) that in 2 years 95 percent under the Republican population would be working for the "Masters" and living and eating out of company stores.
Also Social Security would be gone as would all health care.

[TheBigGuy]

6. it could be better...

there should be some humor and wit in parody and satire. i dont see much at that page, aside from aping the graphics.

I think DUers could do a better job of pardoying DU....

[Pert_UK]

7. Parody is one thing, but isn't this STEALING?

I mean, haven't they stolen source code / design, which I would have thought would be copyrighted?

In which case it would be illegal?

In which case shouldn't Elad / Skinner / EarlG be contacting their lawyers for compensation?

P.

[expatriot]

11. no... it is not stealing....

he doesn't even use the same graphics for once thing and two, it is how everyone makes parody sites... and three it is not even that good... i mean it doesn't look as close to DU as if someone with a little bit more skill could have done.

[foo_bar]

13. actually

i mean it doesn't look as close to DU as if someone with a little bit more skill could have done.

it isn't simply a design parody, they copied DU's html source (albeit one that was dynamically generated). Compare:

DU:
<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="1"><a href="privacy.html">privacy policy</a></font></td>

DAI:
<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="1"><a href="coming%20soon.htm">privacy policy</a></font></td>

[Duncan Grant]

8. Here's the key to knowing who's behind this...

From the Top 10 Liberal Idiots:

>1) We favor REPARATIONS. $10,000 to each American black Democrat coupled with a return ticket (one-way) back to Africa. Bye, bye Juli, Maxine, Johnny (boy) Conyers and all the rest of you hateful, angry black Democrats<

Can you say UGLY. Down right UGLY. And that's the GOP everyone should embrace? In your dreams, scumbags.

I can't wait for November 2004! :grr:

[expatriot]

9. this is so funny... these morons are helping us...

by making parodies like this they expose their absolute disconnect with reality:

1. They hate America (as founded by our forefathers)(because we don't believe that the United States is a Nation based on Anglo-Ancestral worship

2. They hate capitalism (because we believe that modern nations should have a public sector
3. They hate the idea of making a profit.(because we believe in taxing the wealthy and the affluent at a higher rate than the poor)

4. They hate business (Because we think that the corporate world needs a few regulations)

5. They love socialism and it's many manifestations (Marxist, Leninist, Communist) (Because we support public education).

6. Maxine Waters is a Democrat. (George W. is a Republican)

7. They have no value, character, or morals. (because we believe that freedom of religion extends beyond fundamentalist christian congregations).

8. They protect reprehensible presidents like Clinton rather than demand better. (um, you're not referring that the one we have now is any better, are you?)

9. They fight to protect American trees rather than American people.
(four words: trees create oxygen, dumbass)

10. They stand for NOTHING. (did you just not say that we hated America, hated capitalism, hated business, loved socialism, protected Clinton and American trees... isn't that standing for SOMETHING?)


the idiocy of these people astound me. "they have no value, character, or morals." wow.

[SoCalDem]

10. Things must be slow at FreeperJunction

oooh..their forum is coming soon.. can we stand the anticipation??

[Bluzmann57]

12. I actually emailed them

and told them that it wasn't really a very good parody, perhaps they should come up with something else. I also invited them to put me on their "liberal idiots" list, since they couldn't think of anyone else.

[Bossy Monkey]

14. Here's the useless Whois info

No such ZIP (I mean the 5-digit one). 2Mhost is an outfit out of Boonville CA. Unlike the more openly evil Go Daddy Software (where a lot of the "I Love Bush/Rumsfeld/Ari" type sites are hosted), these guys make no mention at all of offering private registration (ie, no results for Whois searches). So either the site was put up by the 2Mhost yoyos themselves or they're running a very strange webhosting business. They offered a random selection of sites they host. The one of those I checked did have good Whois results, although I had to go through directnic instead of Netsol. Perfectly respectable environmental group, too.

Anyways, here's the stuff. I gotta get a life, don't I?

16. An open dare to our Jersey DUers

Who's gonna sneak over there and stick an Al Sharpton sign in his yard?

[Bossy Monkey]

17. Not Clifton NJ. Not Clifton anywhere. No such zip. It's made up. (n/t)

[Blue-Jay]

18. Oh.

I should read more slowly. Rats.

[Robb]

19. There is a 1781 Lilbet

http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?country=US&addtohistory=&address=1781+Lilbet&city=&state=NJ&zipcode=&homesubmit=Get+Map

[Bossy Monkey]

20. As it turns out, Mapquest and Yahoo maps will provide a map regardless

what street name you give, so long as you put the query in the form of "______ St" "City Name (State Abbreviation)" I just tried it for Yahoonie St in Las Vegas. Mind you, there might be such a street, but I know which way I'm betting.

If you zoom in all the way on the map, you won't see any Lilbet St.

24. it's a suburb of NYC

23. I have a friend that lives in Clifton, NJ.

Someone probably just screwed up the zip, shit happens.

[thermodynamic]

15. Oh be nice to stupid monkeys!

Man. that site is pathetic! Even I could do better! Did a 3 year old cobble up that joke of a site?

[WilliamPitt]

22. I had a busted watch that was right twice a day

This guy was right only once:

"The battle for power is in the hearts and minds of 10 to 20 million swing voters. That is the source of political power in America. Swing Voters."
