heh Overclockers posted it as front page material. If nothing else, THG can take comfort in the adage "No such thing as bad publicity". I wonder if Clinton still feels that way...

Pretty funny, though I've never been a big fan of Tom's Hardware. Odd thing about the spoof, the hotlinks are real. You click on an article on the page's boundaries and it takes you to the real article.... which implies the pages were copied and modified... which presents a real copyright question.

pHaestus · 09-25-2002, 03:53 PM

Pretty sure parody is covered under fair use

Eh, I'm not going anywhere near Tom's even with a space suit on.
