Musgrave's old Web site hijacked
Congresswoman's 2002 home page taken over by porn

By M.E. Sprengelmeyer, Rocky Mountain News
September 29, 2004

WASHINGTON - If you go looking for Rep. Marilyn Musgrave's 2002 campaign Web site, be sure to consult your parent or guardian first.

The conservative congresswoman's original campaign site has been hijacked by a pornographer.

Where Musgrave once listed her biography and stands on various issues, now there is an "ADULTS ONLY" warning and a link to pictures of graphic sexual acts.

And until notified of the situation Tuesday by the Rocky Mountain News, the link to dirty pictures was being touted on the Web site of the Colorado-based Christian-oriented Internet company that helped produce a far more wholesome Musgrave site during her first congressional campaign.

"They hijacked the name, probably just to harass us," Musgrave chief of staff Guy Short said Tuesday. "It's just disgusting."

The company that helped create the 2002 version, Burning Heart Websites of Littleton, was unaware that a Florida company now owns the rights to Musgrave's former domain name and has been using it for pornography, founder Damon Thomas said.

...this sort of site-name poaching by sleazy merchants trying to use old bad links to prop up their hit count.

It ain't the porn, it's the false advertising (or what amounts to it).

Just goes to show that if you buy a site name, you'd better be prepared to keep it permanently.
