if you're not having fun, the terrorists have already won

One beautiful day the U.S. Department of Homeland Security created a site called ready.org. And for a time, it was good.

"Ready.gov is a common sense framework designed to launch a process of learning about citizen preparedness. One of the primary mandates of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security is to educate the public, on a continuing basis, about how to be prepared in case of a national emergency Ð including a possible terrorist attack." (http://www.ready.gov/about.html)

Then came along the disrespectful citizens to poke fun at the imagery the government had wasted tax money on.

And it was even better.

A few inspiring examples:

And many more...

Thus was the idea of readydotgovornotreadydotgov born. A site where people could post their comments on the ready.gov pictures and rate other's comments in the good old hotornot fashion.

And that is that, really.
