Go and No Army?

armying.jpg

Someone went all out to prove a point. This is freaky.

First go to Go Army and get a feel for the site and the content.

Then hop over to No Army and see what they did. I guess propaganda has a mirror image.

Is there a trick to how No Army mirrored this so well? Have you ever seen anything similar to this done before?

They probably just stole the flash file from goarmy.com and decompiled it, then copied the images and such from the rest of the site. The games section is really quite amazing, though...

Yeah. A buddy of mine said they flipped the .xml feed.

It was pretty interesting until I heard the report "Army Recruitment Targeting Latino Youth" and at the end the reporter says: " Mike Kursch, Al Jazeera, Los Angeles" ... It's an Al Jazeera site... no wonder...

@ Mofongo -- I'm afraid you've fallen victim to the 'Al Jazeera is a front for muslimian islamocommunifacism' wingnut school of journalistic criticism.

Yes, AJ is based Somewhere in the Middle east, but an uncritical mouthpiece for anti-Western and anti-US propaganda they are not - they are more fair and balanced than one other 'news' channel I could name, and offer up a far wider range of stories than are served up in most other streams.

And they've employed gay Jews before now.

As to the No Army site, thumbs up and smiley faces all round - a little satire and criticism never hurt anybody.

Bearman's buddy is correct.
