?!?!?!?!

1. Neither link works for me

The first one takes me to the CNN main page and the second one gets me a 404.

4. Shush

Give me a minute - these links are hard to play with ;)

2. One link is CNN's home page, the other is a 404 error

and it's nice when thread titles give some indication of the contents of the thread :eyes:

You still have time to edit.

3. Still a 404 (n/t)

[rabid_nerd]

Woohoo!

Should work now

5. Is this for real????

If President Gore runs for re-election, everything changes!

Here's the working link:
http://www.cnn.com%7C2003%7CALLPOLITICS%7C09%7C22%7Celec04.prez.gore%7C@64.23.81.81/gore.html


on edit: rabid_nerd - how did you find that page? I did a search on CNN's web site and it doesn't come up. On their Election 2004 page, they do list Gore as "undecided" but I didn't see a link to that article.

7. Note the URL

no / after .com proves it's not on CNN's server.

15. Not real...

What I wish was printed instead of Moseley Braun's announcement.

In fact it's lifted pretty much from that page from today.

But it also serves as a joke (heart-attack inducing) to the supporters of the 10 who can't stand the thought. Oh, and to give Cheney his worst nightmare.

6. I know a joke when I see one.

Although it is pretty well done. :thumbsup:

9. I gotta make sure...

...the forum doesn't tear the link apart!

[Ivory_Tower]

17. Pretty well done

Of course, my browser asked me if I wanted to continue because I was feeding a username into the web address (the "@" gave it away).

Cruel hoax, but pretty realistic-looking page. In fact my first thought was that it was one of those "practice stories" CNN does, like the obituaries of living people that were found a while ago.

18. Hoax, wish...

Depends on POV.. I wish it WAS real...

I just wanted to stop some hearts with people who want to keep him out, but I'm surprised there's no instant Gore bashing..

8. Unfu**ing Believable!

Go Gore!

[rabid_nerd]

10. Sorry...

It's a joke.. Or a wish page... More the latter for us, the prior for people who don't want Gore to enter...

[BattyDem]

13. Damn!

For a brief moment I was really happy!

[goobergunch]

14. You did a really good job, though

Did you copy CNN's source code lock stock and barrel?

*impressed*

[rabid_nerd]

16. Relatively easy...

<base href={old URL}>

in the header of the page fixes most relative URLs

Then it's just change some pic URLs, edit the text, fudge the URL, and viola!

[Girlfriday]

11. Damn, I don't know a joke when I see one...

but that was good; believable to if you've been watching him the last couple weeks. Oh well....Go Clark!
