Writes Zack Exley of whosealphabet.com:

I put up an obviously fake version of CNNfn.com with the date set to a year in the future. The point was to show (in a sad but humorous way) what a huge financial crash would look like. Warren Buffet was buying up the last dot coms to run as non-profits for the public good, money managers were getting body guards, and Bush had raised taxes. I changed the CNNfn logo and called the site CNNdn ("down"). Soon, CNN employees were emailing the site around to each other. Immediately CNN threatened to sue and then sued when I didn't take the site down... Yesterday [Feb 1st, 2001] CNN got a restraining order against me... The restraining order says that I have to take down the parody site. Yesterday the site got 50,000 visits. This morning it had already gotten 60,000 when I got the order to take it down.
