A few months ago, Cleo pointed me to a horrible web site that sickened us, and most other folks that saw it. It was godhatesfags.com. It was a horrible page, with a picture of Matthew Shepherd (the 98-pound guy that was tied to a fence, beaten, and left to die in the elements because he was gay... I mention his small stature to explain that he probably wasn't well-equipped to defend himself), with flames (from hell, of course) licking up at him. The goober that does this page pastors a church that regularly pickets gay events around the nation. You get the picture.
Today, CNN reported that someone, apparently legally, has made it so that the godhatesfags.com now redirects people to godlovesfags.com. The top of the "love" page features (with a pink background, hee hee) a quote from Jesus: "This is my commandment, that you love one another."
I think this is cooler than cool. Regardless of how one feels about homosexuality, the other site was just repulsive. I know domain registrations expire, and maybe the guy with the "love" page snuck in at the exact right second and snatched up the "hate" domain name. At any rate, I think it's just the cat's jammies.

God does hate fags. But Jesus doesn't! Ironic, isn't it?

The worst part about this message is that Susan's blaming me:
----- A few months ago, Cleo pointed me to a horrible web site that sickened us, and most other folks that saw it. -----
Yeah, Susan. Go ahead! Make it sound like I just go around cruising gay-bashing web sites!
If I didn't know you from, like, way-back-when, I'd, like, be pissed or something!
Although I do have an idea now. I wonder if "godhatesbrittneyspears.com" is available?

I think she was praising you for pointing out an evil.
(And if god hates Brittney Spears, why'd he giver her such incredible hooters??)

Ack. Sincere apologies to Cleo, then. I really did think you showed me that page, Cleo... apparently I'm confused. Do you think the gay-bashing site is okay?

No. I guess my sarcasm wasn't laid on heavily enough. I wasn't pissed at all.
I just found it funny that you presented the message in a form that seemed to indicate that godhatesfags.com was a site that I frequented.
Hell, I only go there, like, once a week! I'm not a REGULAR or nuthin!

Uhm, you do know why fags are called fags, right? I mean, are you even aware how deep that irony goes? :-)

You know, if I were a slimy scumbag out to make a buck on the internet, I'd set up a web site where people could look and see if their favorite domain name was taken. I'd also set up a second company who would buy demographic data from the web site company for, say, $1. This demographic data would be used to determine which domain names to buy up and auction off.
"Enter your prospective domain name here: WEBNUNS.COM
"I'm sorry, WEBNUNS.COM was bought up about ten seconds ago."

Oh, yah, I knew it was being done. Why else would anyone offer a 'free' whois lookup from their web site, particularly if their buisness was hosting sites?
What made me think of it was Katt's post, where it says: 'These Web Addresses are also available! Secure your name in all 3 extensions (.com, .net, .org) to protect your Internet identity. Just click the box next to each additional Web Address you wish to secure.'

Soon web addresses will be near-random collections of 10-digit numbers.

As opposed to near-random collections of 12-digit numbers in groups of three?
We'll need DNS to keep track of our DNS.
