If you click there right now, you'll see a webpage for a BBQ place in Birmingham, Ala.

A satirical spread of pages was taken down but featured fake news stories.

It's a good thing they didn't put up a false headline that was more subtle, like "Pope Assasinated" or "Atomic explosion destroys Mecca" or something like that.

World reactions might be, well, extreme.

I just clicked on it again, and I get "Ray Lewis Full Moon BBQ"

Interesting.... but you're coming in from Europe.

Anybody else? This is the first real hack I've seen.

must be a local phenominon then, anyhow, i'm goin' down to the kitchen & shove sumthin in the mikeywave....
y'alls dns server has been compromised to point at another site methinks.
 
Real time real news . I think . What does it mean ? I am the lucky winner and just have to pay the taxes first ? L:O:L
 
that site looks better than the USA Today one, i called their carry-out number to place an order & they got reeelly mad when i got to the delivery address bit & wanted to know how much it was in UK pounds & if they took paypal, what do you expect from them uppity city fellers anyhow.
 
You may want to run an antispyware program Mike, all I'm seeing is news. There could be something on your computer causing your browser to go to the wrong page, and if so who knows what else it's doing. :eek:
 
You want to really get them mad, ask for a copy of the USA Today.

Who else can see this and where are you? Real-time exercise.

Both office computers are doing the same thing.... insert <eek>

I wish they had. Hyper sensitive people make me sick. I'm thinking of starting a blasphemous cartoon website. Why not. Guess who'll star on it? I'll give you a hint, the first letter of his name is M. Plus I've developed the idea and reserved the website for a hyper offensive product. I'm still hesitating on actually doing it though. Seems like something I could burn for. LOL. Political correctness, and censorship are the worst traits in the human condition. I intend to provoke a worldwide riot with my site and my product. I'm a little worried about the safety of my family though. You'd have to PM me for details. I'd get flamed like a burnt steak for laying it out here. Don't get me wrong I don't like racism and hatred, but there is a market for it. ;)
 
Methinks the computers at work have a little problem.... sorry, guys. It's working OK from home, here.

To make up for a bad read, here's a gratuitus look at a couple of new CZ52's that FedEx brought me today:



New holsters, new condition. Came from J&G, where I had one on backorder. They honored the old price....at least on one. But these are choice pistols.

Any CZ52 shooters out there? Yes there are.... Anyone want one? Go rapidly to J&G sales dot com. They are already gone in some grades.
