Fake CNN Website Taken Offline (Culture 2:00 a.m. PDT)
A website that generated phony CNN news stories has been ordered to
close by the network giant. The site was only up for a week, but during
that time it created more than its share of trouble and controversy. By
Leander Kahney.

And here I was, thinking you would admit to being Kat´s evil twin. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I must say I find their site offensive. Generating stories about people (well celebrities) dying. [img]graemlins/idontagreeatall.gif[/img] I wonder what will happen to the ones responsible for this madness. Found this on the spoofed main site:

Please note that the operators of spo0fed.com did not personally post any of the articles; it was the general public who did so. However, as we are sympathetic to character assassination and never intended the site to be used for defamation of character, we are more than willing to work with authorities to track down individuals who posted abusive content.

Nothing. I bet it's all anonymous. I don't use online news sites, (thank goodness). It can't have been hard to see they were false, for can your average American spell? (J/K!!!!! DON'T KILL ME! [img]graemlins/outtahere.gif[/img] )
