Website Satire

So there were a LOT of choices for me to look at, but none really seemed like something I could mess around with. The Obama website was amazing but I was worried that many people would choose it. I instead decided upon this blackmailing website. Now I know blackmail is no joking matter and it sucks if it's against you, but this made me laugh for some reason.The website is meant as a joke, and call me twisted but it made me laugh ever so slightly on the inside. It was simple to mess around and I wanted to keep the basic layout that it started out as. The two quotes are by an author named Robin Morgan who's wrote poetry, political books, and other types of literature. They fit this website beautifully I think because the website is a joke, and the quotes add to that twisted humor I thought.

This is the original website if you were wondering what it looked like originally.
