Every single thing on the RNC’s newish web site is eventually removed, in shame, 12-24 hours after it is introduced, so it is sad but unsurprising that GOP.am—that’s GOP.com’s fashionable “conservative URL” handle—has been incinerated, kind of.
Balloon Juice is reporting that “the Republican party took down its innovative link shortening tool Tuesday after pranksters had a field day using the tool to associate the GOP with bondage sites.” OMG Tragic.com you guys!! Anyway, the thing still works for “Wonkette” and some other bondage sites your editor just played around with, so, gather ye rosebuds.

haha, apparently they still stand with the Bold Progressive’s site against Vinegar Joe.

A big win for us Armenian Wonkett Linkstormers!
Join our GOP. Adultery and hypocrisy. Greed and ignorance.
I’m wondering if it would be wrong to make one linking to a site in Turkey denying the Armenian genocide …. only wondering.
The GOP never needs lube.

Watching the GOP struggle with the intertubes reminds me of the time I bought my Westie a Gameboy for her birthday. She couldn’t even figure out how to turn it on. Eeventually, after trying to chew it, she peed on it and walked away.

Wait, it took pranksters to associate the GOP with bondage sites? Where the fuck has Wired been for the last five years?
Locked up in Michael Steele’s dungeon, perhaps.
go figure. The party that wants to take us back to the 1950s is having trouble with this modern computer thing.
Hell, it still seems to work:

Oh God, no! Don’t take away the GOP.am Trucknutz site!
My favorite – http://gop.am/W4a4.
Balloon Juice also famously forgot to put “merry” in front of “pranksters.” Ho, ho, ho.

Truely, we live in an age of miracles. Those Internets sure can be confusing for The Olds. Also.
Do they actually need a shortening tool or are their members already sufficiently short?
What does the .am stand for? http://gop.am/xbLN

Submission to Urban Dictionary is now under review:
linkstorm
1. Putting a link on one website which drives commenters to another website, thus crashing or downing the target website’s server. Similiar to a Denial of Service attack, but done by humans driven by revenge, anger, comedy, greed, etc.
2. Bombarding the gop.am link-shortening service with links for BDS&M and other inappropriate sites, to the point where they have to close their service.
example:
Wonkette linkstormers bombarded gop.am with so many links to pedobear.org and republicanssuck.com that their servers crashed.

They’re still using .am? Haven’t they heard about .8track yet?
Also, redstaters are easily impressed:

Wow.
[re=478641]memzilla[/re]: No, see, the joke was… Oh, never mind.
[re=478646]comicbookguy[/re]: That’s why we can’t ever have anything nice!
[re=478621]CrunchyKnee[/re]: Very nice! Lincoln holding a string of intestines, or possibly fresh blütwurst, is particularly poignant.
[re=478651]joezoo[/re]: Sorry, was in too geekified a mindset. Joezoo, +1.

[re=478688]Creative Nickname[/re]: Jee, you’d think the French have enough trouble with their damn dog poop….
[re=478633]joezoo[/re]: Well, it’s morning in America, isn’t it?
FM is for hippies.
“GOP.AM was created as a free service to make posting long URLs easier. If you use it for spamming, illegal purposes or to promote lude content, your GOP.AM URL will be disabled.”
so yeah, no ‘ludes. Cocaine and Xanax ONLY.
Just another thought…

What’s hilarious is that the jackasses never even saw it coming. So to speak.
More, please!

[re=478646]comicbookguy[/re]: It even gives you stats!
Can’t count on Redtaters to count for themselves.
Congratulations Wonketteers! I’m pretty sure we WON THE MORNING!

[re=478646]comicbookguy[/re]: -1 googleplex points to the RedState commenter for using “props” in a sentence also containing the words “Michael” and “Steele”.
Needs moar BDSM linkstorming.
Here, this ought to appeal to many of them:
http://gop.am/n0eD
…make the fuckers review EVERY SINGLE LINK that comes in.
It’s obvious, but necessary:
http://gop.am/IFs4
I love you all.
http://gop.am/K4qS Why not post this again?
[re=478802]twoeightnine[/re]: Apparently conservative stats means subtracting one number from another. Otherwise, how would the redtards know? How? would? they? know?!1!
I’m kind of partial to http://gop.am/9vkK
It’s not dirty, but http://gop.am/er3K is still fun.
