Some moron has come up with a site called America's Dumbest Soldiers, and lists each of the soldiers killed in Iraq on a separate page with a description of how they met their demise, along with a "Am I Hot" type of rating system for you to determine just how "dumb" the soldier pictured is.
And this is supposed to be for someone's amusement? It's supposed to be make someone laugh?
This is mean.
This is brainless.
America's Dumbest Soldiers is simply evil.
Can you imagine the families of these men and women stumbling across this site, their sons; their daughters; brothers; sisters; friends being called "dumb" for someones' amusement?
My God.
Posted by mhking at May 15, 2004 10:37 PMYes it is evil.
I short cutted the whole thing and emailed that I wanted to vote John Kerry as America's Dumbest Soldier.
Sick, just amazing how hurtful some people can be. BTW, just wanted to say how much I enjoy your blog, keep it up!!!

Posted by: djohn66 at May 16, 2004 10:17 AMSome company, somewhere has facilitated this. Surely we can try to get this site removed? I sent an e-mail to the company that (I think) owns the IP address for this site. They are Teneco AB of Sweden. Not sure if they can do anything about it, but if we bother them enough, maybe they'll tell us who can. I sent the e-mail to info@teneco.se.
They also seem to have some relationship with British Telecom, Global Services - Nordics. I don't know what, if anything, they can do, but e-mail them too at support@eu.bt.net.
Posted by: John at May 18, 2004 07:50 AMOkay, before anyone else sends a message to Teneco I want to pass on their response to my e-mail.
Hello John.I thought it was very decent of them to respond so promptly. I hope they succeed in closing this site down. Posted by: John at May 18, 2004 08:32 AM
This is a website that someone have registred and pointed too 213.15.81.193.
The thing is, We dont own this website,
but one of our NS-servers had been hacked and the ones
that own the website runned it from our server.
They are all blocked now, and iam trying to find
the one responseable for this.

Please, please, please let us know if you hear anything else on how this asshat gets his handed to him...
Posted by: mhking at May 18, 2004 10:20 AMThe site is down now. There's no longer a DNS return for the url, and the server doesn't answer pings.
