That's why Dino Ignacio, creator of the "Bert is Evil" Web site, has shut the site down. Ignacio created it to spoof the resident banana head on "Sesame Street," superimposing pictures of Ernie's roomie with history's most infamous baddies, including Hitler, Dahmer and bin Laden. But when pictures of Bert and bin Laden started showing up at anti-US protests in Asia, Ignacio drew the line. He says this is a case of life imitating spoof a little too closely. >> CLICK: http://www.vnunet.com/News/1126124 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ::::::::::::::::::: SEARCHSOLARIS CONTACTS ::::::::::::::::::: MICHELLE WEBB, Site Editor ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) >> Send in your original article ideas and best practices. ____________________________________________________________________ MARK BRUNELLI, Assistant Editor ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) >> Send in your technical tips and favorite Web sites. ____________________________________________________________________ JACK PICKELL, News Editor ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) >> Send in your news, press releases and product announcements. ____________________________________________________________________ GABRIELLE DERUSSY ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) >> Sponsor this or any other TechTarget newsletter. ____________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________ :::::::::::::::::::: ABOUT THIS NEWSLETTER ::::::::::::::::::::: Created by TechTarget (http://www.techtarget.com) TechTarget - The Most Targeted IT Media Copyright 2001, All Rights Reserved.
