I tell you the truth, the infidels have made no website

I was going to post part II of "how to make your own cult", but instead I found something that's far more interesting. Via Brown Pau the Iraqi Information Minister has a fansite!
Sample true quotes "It has been rumored that we have fired scud missiles into Kuwait. I am here now to tell you, we do not have any scud missiles and I don't know why they were fired into Kuwait." "They are superpower of villains. They are superpower of Al Capone." "There are no American infidels in Baghdad. Never!"

That's what I meant... they died because everyone linked to them and they couldn't cope with the bandwidth. Okay so it was more severe than I thought, I just thought they'd gone over their bandwidth limit, not actually incapacited the server. But it's the same sorta thing. The Geeks called it slashdotted because if a website like slash dot links to you then everyone clicks on the link and brings your page down due to the amount of traffic that you get.
