The article is here
Now wouldn't it be funny if a few people had domains they aren't using, preferably ones with unsavory names, which they just happened to put up redirects to Governor Palin's page?  |
What is even more sad than them not understanding a redirect and all of that. Checking into the rules of the state seal of Alaska and the only thing I can find is this.
(a) A person may not use or make a die or impression of the state seal for any advertising or commercial purpose, unless written permission has first been obtained from the lieutenant governor.
Do not even think they would of misused the state seal even if they had it up on their site before it fowarded - which they did not but still come on.
