How geekless is the GOP?

[elfs]

So, the Republicans, in order to prove just how net-savvy they are, have been trying out various intiatives on the 'web. The "rebranded" the GOP.org website in order to make it cool, including having a Flash-app of Michael Steele walking out and saying, "Now how cool is that?" It's not very cool, Michael; obstructing the view went out with the 90's.

Apparently, they secured the address "GOP.am," and while throwing around ideas some bright spark said, "Hey, you know those URL shortener things, like bit.ly? What if we put up one of those? But instead of being a redirect, we'll make it a frame, so you can put wrap Republican messages around whatever page we redirect too. That'll show those folks just how cool and technological we can be!"

Oh, the places you'll go...

I especially love the "Do you think Sarah Palin is?" question on this GOP-wrapped screenshot of sex.com.

This one's for Larry Craig, Bob Allen, Glenn Murphy Jr., Jim West, Jeff Gannon and Mark Foley! (Man, how sad is it that I can remember all of those? I'm totally wasting those brain cells!)

Pssst. Republicans, wanna know something? Wrapping someone else's site in your branding frame is about as rude as pissing on your neighbor's lawn. It, too, went out with the 90's.
