Ed Perlmutter, Porn Star

  • 6 Comments
  • by: Colorado Pols

Not really, as the Rocky Mountain News reports:

Porn pirates, it seems, hijacked Rep. Ed Perlmutter’s campaign Web site shortly after he was elected in November, demanding more than $1,000 in ransom.

The matter resolved itself late today when the porn suddenly disappeared, but not without first giving Perlmutter’s staff a major headache.

Internet users who typed “Ed Perlmutter” into their Google search engines and then clicked “I’m feeling lucky” were directed to perlmutter2006.com, which had told voters during his first campaign why they should vote for the Golden Democrat.

The Web site had been changed to feature a bikini-clad woman lounging suggestively, next to links for “free uncensored webcams,” “find local girls for sex,” and “cheating wives adult chat.”

Pretty funny (maybe not for Perlmutter’s web crew), but it’s not the first Colorado political website to get taken over by the “porn pirates” since the 2006 elections.

The liberal group Progress Now’s spoof site attacking former GOP gubernatorial candidate Bob Beauprez also switched to porn right after the 2006 elections–they apparently let the domain “bothwaysbob.org” expire, and…well, if you were a “porn pirate” you’d know what to do with that domain name, wouldn’t you?

Seems to us that “bothwaysbob.org” has a lot more porn potential than “perlmutter2006.com,” but people get turned on by all kinds of weird things these days.

  1. No domain name ever goes back to unused anymore. When any name expires one of these guys grabs it to get any traffic that still points to it.

    That’s the downside of domain names being so cheap.

    1. Besides paying for it forever?

      I think I’ve only one domain name that I let go of, and it wasn’t anything overtly personal or identifiable to me or my family. 

      How do these guys find these released names?

          1. The only difference is what they point to when you give it up. Some do porn, some do “shopping” sites which are links to web stores that pay for the listing.

            On the flip side, they are always willing to sell the domain back to you – at a premium.
