The Reverend Catherine Sims,on behalf of her Detroit-based "Love Thy Neighbor Corp.", has been using ICANN UDRP complaints to try to wrest control over the domain LoveThyNeighbor.org from "Love Thy Neighbor Fund Inc.", a Florida charity. She's also been trying to gain control over GodSpeaks.net and WuzUpGod.com.

Talk about 'unclear on the concept'...

Unclear on the concept? Howzabout the person who did the sound for the Flash animation at WuzUpGod.com? Click on the link marked "Click here" on the top of the page to see an animation that I'm pretty sure wasn't supposed to scare the hell out of me and remind me of spooky horror flicks. What's with that clanging metallic sound?

Of course, the first thing I wonder is Why would anyone want WuzUpGod.com?

You're right, poseur. I had to double check and make sure my stalking, psychotic, ex-girlfriend wasn't in my apartment. I still feel uneasy about it. I'm locking ALL the locks on my door tonight.

Religion: opiate of the masses, business plan of the few.

...you can't see me...but I can SEE YOU!

jeez, wuzupgod.com seems to be trying to attract all the genXers who think that god isn't "cool" to "chill" out "with." but it manages to accomplish this by creating a dark, dreary webpage with negative images and the same ambiance as an abandoned sugar refinery which you've been trapped in for 2 days.

"chill, don't kill.
-god"

Does "thou shalt not kill" apply to bad flash designers?

I was only commenting on the one woman who was mentioned in the story, not on the design or implementation of any of the other websites. :) For a religion that promotes like, peace, and stuff... it sure seems hypocritical to turn to the courts numerous times to wrest property away from the rightful owners of said property.
