NOTE FROM KIM:
According to an Internet posting, an insurgent group named
the Victorious Army Group has extended to January 15th
a deadline for a contest for a Web design “worthy of
the group’s reputation and the reputation of the jihad
and the mujahideen,” according to a translation provided
by the SITE Institute, which monitors jihadist messages.

Website Needs a Redesign

7> After viewing your “Fourth Reich” site, people e-mail you requesting concert schedules for your band.

6> Your Web site still lists IBM as an enemy of the people, and looks to Microsoft for salvation.

5> You keep hiding pictures in your secret message code instead of the other way around.

4> Your call to moral piety among the believers is somewhat undermined by the banner ad for HotWetBarelyLegalTeens.com.

3> The dancing hamsters tend to distract people from the beheading videos.

2> The fatwa against voting for Reuben just seems a little dated.

and the Number 1 Sign Your Insurgency’s Web Site Needs a Redesign…

1> You’re still railing against the outrage of paying a colonial tea tax.
