The Internet does some amazing things sometimes. Republicans, on the other hand, do not. Such great circumstance sometimes results in an amazing story of domain hijacking like this one. Thanks to Ted Cruz and Carly Fiorina’s respective camps not buying up all the “Carly Fiorina for VP” domains, we got another great one the other day.
Ted Cruz recently announced that he would consider Carly Fiorina as his running mate for the general election. Following that news, some brave unnamed hero bought up “carlyfiorinaforvicepresident.com” and decided to do something fun with it.
Fiorina has made quite a name for herself by being pretty much one of the only women that is against Planned Parenthood, and she even led the charge on claiming they were selling aborted fetal tissue in an attempt to shut them down for good.
So, wouldn’t it be funny if that domain was redirected to Planned Parenthood’s website? Because that’s exactly what happened.
This isn’t the first time Cruz-Fiorina has been burned by their incompetence either. Just try typing “TedCruz.com” into your browser and see what happens. You might just see a picture of a certain likely Democratic nominee, and that’s it.
I suppose it should come as no surprise. They’ve shown themselves to be completely out of touch when it comes to the major social issues encircling this country, so why should they be anymore in touch with the Internet or other things that don’t involve bolstering insane “biblical” beliefs or insulting women’s bodies.
Oh wait, people do that on the Internet all the time.
In any case, hats off to this unnamed hero for taking advantage of a great situation. In the slim chance that Cruz becomes the Republican nominee, he or she might even make a buck off of this. But I wouldn’t hold my breath. It’ll take a miracle to beat Trump. As if he’s any better.
