UsaFlagsDirect.com is selling...........can you guess what they're selling................? And check this on NetworkSolutions for the date of registration. The site looks pretty amateurish to me; anyone can play with JScript to make rollover-undeline links. I'm curious whether this guy is rolling in the money, or are people not buying from him because he is trying to profit from 911.

If I posted this as front page material then I would be getting my ass kicked right now on MeFi. Oh, and I also wanted to save my post-per-day for a better one.

ferris:

I see from your profile that you're fairly new, so you probably haven't noticed a lot of the things that make this place pretty unique. For future reference, everyone here has probably seen:

SatireWire
The Onion
Dancing Hamsters
AYBABTU
Evil Bert
etc.

We kind of frown upon linking to such common sources. Don't worry about the mistake though; it happens. We understand. I'll see you around MetaFilter.

Egad! Keep in mind, however, that you CAN die from excessive exposure to the Internet, just as you can get shocked to death if you talk on the phone during a thunderstorm. Data lines connect almost every household in America together; disregarding fuses, they're a perfect medium for terrorism.

Don't be so condescending gd779. I think there are some people who enjoy reading filtered gems from common sources on metafilter because they probably don't have as much time as you do to surf all of

SatireWire
The Onion
Dancing Hamsters
AYBABTU
Evil Bert
etc.

everyday.

i've never heard of satirewire so i thought it was pretty cool.. which is strange if it's somewhere a lot of people go, 'cause i thought i "got around" (that sounds bad) the internet a lot... then again, i don't really hang around ananova too much either..

anyone can play with JScript to make rollover-undeline links.

actually, i'm pretty sure you can do that with some good ol' CSS.

Anthrax via email?
"Hi! How are you? I send you this anthrax in order to have your advice. See you later, thanks."

ferris: Sorry if I came off condescending. I didn't mean it that way.
