Yahoo! is investing $250,000 in the domain name Uncut.com and plans to develop it into a web site that is fighting the obsession of Americans with the Abrahamic religions‘ tradition of penis foreskin mutilation.
“The new web site, Uncut.com, will feature before and after pictures of a male penis, to deliver the message: America, leave the male organs alone!” exclaimed Yahoo! CEO, Marissa Mayer.
“Yes, we go for the shock factor, and we plan to get the domain from AOL that’s using it in a silly way of delivering unedited news. We have grand plans and I personally intend to get fully involved in the Uncut.com redesign,” added the Yahoo! CEO.
The pregnant, newly-hired Yahoo! executive is credited for the minimalistic Google homepage, something that took hundreds of hours to accomplish.
By acquiring Uncut.com from AOL and its conversion into a web site that will raise awareness for the practice of penis foreskin mutilation, further establishes Marissa Mayer as a “CEOilf” – an acronym dangerously close to MILF.
The $250,000 investment for Uncut.com will be all in cash. Yahoo! is going on a shopping spree on its way to recover its former glory as a top search engine portal.

I just figured that out, that it's fake. But I don't see how it's funny? What's the joke?

I guess it was too good to be true anyway.

Googled it… so apparently the domaingaing website exists as a satire of blogs and forums that discuss a trend called "domain investing." I don't get why they're lampooning Marissa Mayer in particular, though… some kind of tech industry joke, maybe?

Spread the link around. The headline reads, "Inspired by Circumcision.com sale, Yahoo goes after Uncut.com." Although uncut.com redirects to AOL, circumcision.com redirects to Intact America.

I don't who thinks any of this is funny, but the irony is that Yahoo is EVIL to us, deleting the formerly largest online restorers' groups without warning or cause (while heinous kiddie-porn groups went untouched).

If the prank gets anyone to think about infants' rights I'm tickled.
