CNN Has No Sense Of Humor

from the it's-a-parody-folks dept

Last week I saw an article about the parody site CNNdn.com, which is a parody of CNNfn.com. It was fairly amusing, but not worth posting. However, the folks at AOL-Time Warner apparently have no sense of humor and thus they are not amused. I don’t understand how they could possibly think that this wasn’t a parody site, and why they’d even bother to make a fuss about it. The site has now changed from what was an amusing parody, to a site pointing out just how stupid AOL-Time Warner’s lawyers really are. They even show the traffic to the site suggesting that the site had been more-or-less forgotten by the time the lawyers discovered it.
