(edit: yes it is an 'artistic' hoax)

Is there really a US Dept. Of Art And Technology? http://www.usdat.us/


If there is, and this the real website, it appears to have been taken over by a hacker,
the address soon changes to http://www.usdat.us/index_hacked.html
(Or maybe the whole thing is just a hoax?)

"I hacked the Website and made it my own. I dissolved all Control. Politicians! Your Deceit, Your Tyranny, Your Hate, to you had the Department been entrusted! You, who glorify those anachronisms that would bring us to the End, to emptiness: as we brace ourselves for the Ceremonial Inauguration of Death... I bid Adieu... welcome, to A Season in Hell.

Issued by the Secretary-at-Large"

1. US government websites do not end in .us

The guy who designed it is just pretending that he hacked a legit site.
