Squatters Lampoon Bachmann Candidacy

Kinda love this. Snippets from the article:

Internet users are cyber-squatting against Rep. Michele Bachmann.

The GOP presidential candidate’s unconventionally spelled name — one “l” in Michele and two “n’s” in Bachmann — has opened the door for savvy squatters to buy similar domain names to lampoon the presidential hopeful.

For instance, Bachman2012.com, spelled with one fewer “n” than the Minnesota Republican’s real name, takes users to a spoof article about Bachmann announcing her candidacy.

Michele2012.com, meanwhile, redirects to the website for the skin magazine Penthouse. (Note: no longer directs to the site)

A visit to michelebachman.com directs users to a blank webpage with the text, “Please learn to share, love and be more accepting of others.” A few seconds later, the page forwards users to the activist website gayrights.change.org.
