Is this an April fool's joke?
I ran into this on bushwatch. The parody site http://www.whitehouse.org is being redirected to a government site, http://www.cybercrime.gov/

Just in case, note that whitehouse.gov is the official government site, whitehouse.com was recently converted to a porn site, and whitehouse.org is a parody site that's been online for years.

Now, this *could* be an April fool's joke by whitehouse.org. I don't claim to know. Do any of you?

Because if it's NOT an April fool's joke, then as far as I'm concerned we're under attack.

I'll have to check it tomorrow.
