Reuters/Yahoo news reports that Too Many People Love Iraqi Information Minister
"A Web site that sprang up on Thursday called Welovetheiraqiinformationminister.com was quickly forced offline as a rush of global interest drew as many as 4,000 requests a second for the page."
They plan to reopen the site on Monday, offering T-shirts and a barbecue apron with his trademark "God will roast their stomachs in hell."
I really, really, love capitalism.
UPDATE: Yes, Baghdadbob.com is taken, and is up as well. (A lot of anti-Bush stuff on this site, sigh.)
Posted by jk at April 13, 2003 08:29 AMI was checking around the net looking for hotlinking from our site (it has been a problem)and I ran accross your post. I just want to say that we here at baghdadbob are not anti-Bush, couldn't be farther from the truth. I think he is doing a great job in Washington and he has our support. What we are trying to do is get some humor out there and let people have a laugh once in a while and take their mind off what is going on in Iraq. Aslo, we are in the process of raising $500,000 for the Tragedy Assiatance Program for Survivors (TAPS). http://www.taps.org Of the thousands of emails we have recieved about our site, 1 person complained. After we explained our position and the site was just to have a little fun, she emailed us again and apologized. Visit our site, take the humor the way it is intended, have a few laughs and enjoy yourself. If you are interested in helping TAPS, check out the tee-shirts. Thanks
