This GOP URL thing could turn out to be teh awesome, as some of you have pointed out:
With Allah as my witness, the animated Michael Steele was saying “Notice something different?” as I took that screen grab.

Giggles, all, I’m sure.
But seriously – who in their right mind clicks on a deliberately obscured url? Are actual people that trusting? Darwin awards in progress.
A couple weeks ago I spent several very long days helping a local organization clean a virus out of a network with 1300 computers and a few dozen servers. Someone had clicked on something without thinking, it infected executables on a few servers, and the next morning everyone had it. Oh, sure, their fourth-tier crappy antivirus didn’t help matters. If it were some home user I’d just laugh, but when someone destroys that much productivity, exposes that much information… well, there need to be real consequences for active stupidity.
So I’m not clicking on any of these, though I’m sure the typical BJ crowd isn’t linking to malware pages or phishing sites, and anyone who sends me a url like this in real life is landing on my spam list.

Well, aren’t you a special and unique snowflake.

This is only a problem on Windows boxen because Windows boxen have broken security and are about as secure as UNIX systems were 20 years ago. Oh, and the organization you did the work for, sounds as if their IT staff are a bunch of idiots who didn’t bother to implement a defense in depth strategy with a firewall, an application proxy an IDS and virus scanner and active virus scanning on the desktop.

@kommrade reproductive vigor: Hell yes, they’ll call it hacking… or hijacking… or snarko-terrorism. And half of them will actually believe it.
Just to take the grotesquely inappropriate 9/11 metaphor a little further: this would be like someone saying “no one could have predicted terrorists would hijack airplanes and use them as weapons”... if that someone had founded an airline that catered to thrill-seeking passengers by handing them the controls upon request, and only offered flights within the New York city limits. And the stated purpose of the airline was to annoy liberals.
