Oh, we know THIS one isn't real, Jim, but the OTHER one, surely is (from the
Center for Public Integrity!). Unfortunately, it's an all-too-real-sounding
parody (of course, that is the nature of parody!).

Take a look at the following, the report on Homeland Security:

Folks this isn't real

The server address, www.homelandsecurity.gov@subj.com, makes you think
that it's an official government address, but it's not.  In
fact, the www.homelandsecurity.gov section is actually interpreted as a
username at the server subj.com.

Go to the url:

http://www.homelandsecurity.gov@subj.com/dhs/

Look at the sidebars about F16s for schools program and NSA secret
hideout
