If he really was my friend, he wouldn't be encouraging me to partake of online gambling or porno websites, would he? Good gag, though.

Well, I'm glad it's fond of Metafilter, but I didn't exactly feel personally addressed.

For those who didn't get it, if you change the first part of the URL (e.g., saddam.youaremyfriend.com) it changes the message.

thats NOT what dynamic dns is... thats just a wildcarded subdomain and a script. (dynamic dns is a whole other animal.) these type of scripts are not uncommon. this is the first NICE one i've seen, most are used to generate insults or humorous fake news articles like "Pooldemon Arrested in Monkey Sex Scandal"! one of my faves used to be at fuckingsucks.net. it produced a nasty page that said terrible things about whatever you put in the url.

DNS wildcards, not dynamic DNS surely?

"boobies in the url" would be a great album name q.

This is a nice twist on the isgay.com concept.... a little less likely for the person to receive angry email.

Disney called.

They want their "male hero saves helpless female and they fall in love" music back.

VERY clever trick -- it spread like wildfire at the office and made my best friend cry! This guy is ON to something. Ah, the possibilities!!
