Looks like Verisign forgot to renew their UK domain name.

It's much better with the original Flash animation. I wonder if the same donkey-loving brits grabbed this one, or if someone just stole their audio track.

Nearly missed the Flash lameness. TBH I think it's better without :)

Metadog's Whois search brings them up as registered to different folks, so it looks like the song was reused by a new prankster. And I'd just finally got the damn thing out of my head, too...

Ah, cosmic justice. It just makes me go all warm and fuzzy on the inside. Kinda like a donkey....

Maybe they can trade for Leslie Harpold's domain name.

Doesn't the Inernet registry... thingie (sorry, forgot the name) allow companies to sue for rights to their domains when the person who took it is obviously just taking it for theft purposes? Wouldn't a site bragging about taking someone's name be an obvious sign of this? Just asking, I hope I'm wrong because this is hysterical.

This is beautiful. If the UK has their own version of the Trademark Cyberpiracy Prevention Act, I guess the issue would be the verisign claim to 'netsol', which I didn't see trademarked. It's great that VeriSign touts its domain protection services, cosmic justic indeed. Donkeys==digital foes?
