Looks like Verisign forgot to renew their UK domain name.

It's much better with the original Flash animation. I wonder if the same donkey-loving brits grabbed this one, or if someone just stole their audio track.

This discrimination against Anglo-Saxons must stop!

Nearly missed the Flash lameness. TBH I think it's better without :)

Metadog's Whois search brings them up as registered to different folks, so it looks like the song was reused by a new prankster. And I'd just finally got the damn thing out of my head, too...

Ah, cosmic justice. It just makes me go all warm and fuzzy on the inside. Kinda like a donkey....

Maybe they can trade for Leslie Harpold's domain name.

This is beautiful. If the UK has their own version of the Trademark Cyberpiracy Prevention Act, I guess the issue would be the verisign claim to 'netsol', which I didn't see trademarked. It's great that VeriSign touts its domain protection services, cosmic justic indeed. Donkeys==digital foes?

B3ta, the originators of the donkey prank, are well known for their utter brilliance.
