I've been "enjoying" that site for a while now.<br><br>First, it appears to be an incredibly crude & retarded ripoff of the beloved Web cartoon "Homestar Runner."<br><br>Compare & contrast:<br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.homestarrunner.com/main1.html">www.homestarrunner.com/main1.html</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.nrojr.gov/NROjr/index.htm">www.nrojr.gov/NROjr/index.htm</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><br>(Make sure to mouseover the menu items, with your sound turned On.)<br><br>Second, the music is a farkin' outrage. There's the Brian Eno vs. Ry Cooder "Paris, Texas" loop (or maybe it's just a Calexico ripoff) -- from "Main Menu," click "Art" then "Picture Making" and then "Next." It's worth it. (Or, it's horrific.)<br><br>If you can stand it, click "Music" from the main menu and enjoy the jukebox of Hell. I dunno if I love "American Pride" or "I'm a Little Satellite" best ...<br><br>The good news is that I can't imagine a kid ever coming across this shit website. Somewhere in the NRO's gazillion-dollar budget, there was a $800 line item for "Kidz Outreach Online" or something, and here's the result. <br><br>The kids with computers are playing Sims and whining to their emo friends on News Corp.'s MySpace and spending hours a day on NeoPets. This NRO thing is at least proof that the Rumsfeld/Cheney crowd has NO IDEA how to deal with wired kids.<br><br>Even Murdoch has no idea how to deal with them. The purchase of MySpace proved it.<br> <p></p><i></i>
