Don’t mess with us geeks

We all have had experiences of attaching the wrong TLD (ie .org, .com, etc) and ending up at a VERY different place than intended (whitehouse is a GOVernment site, not a .com).

According to the BBC Vice President Dick Cheney made this Gaffe in Tuesday night’s debate:

During a televised debate Mr Cheney told viewers to visit factcheck.com when answering accusations by vice presidential nominee John Edwards.

But rather than being the address of a project to check the facts politicians use, the site merely hosts adverts.

Soon after being mentioned, it began redirecting visitors to the website of billionaire George Soros, who is very critical of the Bush administration.
