Malicious redirects


Ed posted a link the other day to an anti-Notes blog called ih8lotusnotes.  I didn't want to post a link to it yesterday, because someone had set up a redirector to an extremely pornographic image.  Today, that redirector goes instead to Microsoft's Outlook 2007 homepage.

So my question is: assuming that the same person is responsible for both redirects, are they trying to draw a correlation between all-male porn and the MS mail client?

Discuss amongst yourselves.

P.S: If someone really is hacking the blog to put this stuff in, it's a real shame.  The guy had his blog up for 4 days, and he was already getting enough answers to start questioning whether his dislike for Notes was based on the product itself, or his company's particular implementation of it.  Those of us who weren't insulting him, and instead trying to address his questions, were starting to see positive feedback from him.  Sure would have been nice to make it a turnaround story, instead of doing a bunch of malicious crap.

1 - You can read and write to his blog when you right click on the "ih8lotusnotes" link and choose "Save Target As...", then edit the saved index.htm file and put replace "refresh" with "xrefresh" for example.

Fortunately he has addressed all links in his blog as absolute URLs, so the page works even when you have it locally to your computer.
