Default Need someone with legal/political savvy

I saw this on another website and it is VERY CONCERNING. Perhaps it is bogus. I don't know...it just seems DISTURBING (to say the least).
I am rushing out the door at the moment, but at first glance it seems it is an adoption agency where you adopt children for the purposes of organ donation.

ETA:
Checked on snopes...seems someone went through a lot of trouble to get people VERY UPSET.

New question: Why would someone do this?

Default no need to worry

I checked Snopes.com

It is my reliable resource for checking if something is true or an Urban Legend.

Your medical adoption concern is bogus.

Lightbulb do a Whois query?

By doing a search on owner for domain name:

this is what comes up:

Then you can google "vexes media" and find other nasty stuff.

I have heard of police/law enforcement who make websites to entrap
criminals--that is one idea. But most likely it is someone who
wants to hookwink/fool, or whatever. I'd do a virus and spybot after looking at
that site! Just to be careful nothing was sent you in a cookie!

Take note-- FLORIDA address! LOLOLOL

Thank you Mrs. D (Fla. reference noted : ) and AAcyrn!

Yep, bogus and designed to twist the knickers of those who don't like to see children or those who are disadvantaged mistreated.

I'd like to take my twisted knickers and ram it....(never mind)...just thinking this for a brief moment gives me enough satisfaction.

I'm filing this under "is it what it is" and have said the Serenity Prayer.
