New Delhi: US President George W Bush is probably used to criticism, but now you can post your insults to the President, on a website.
As insultthepresident.com words it – the website is dedicated to providing constructive feedback (insulting) to the President of the United States. The website is the brainchild of two men from Tempe, Arizona.
"We were just sitting around complaining about the President and also about how we don’t have any money," say Jeremy and Kolby. And then suddenly, it occured to them that they could make money out of of this.
All you do it click on the website, write your insult and it gets posted to the site. Your comments then get mailed directly to the President. You even get a certificate of authenticity.
The duo says that at a cost of $20 for an insult, "some people don’t think we’re gonna break even."
But there are limitations, you can’t threaten the President. "The last thing I would ever want is to see on the news, you know, that I was in some way aware of what was going to happen to the President or for that matter anyone and took no action," says one of them.
By law, Jeremy and Kolby are expected to report threats to the Secret service, and they take that seriously: "I’m OK with not going to a Cuban detention center. So, they can have whatever they want."
While the goal of running the site is to make money, it is also a perfect platform to practice a little free speech.
Here are the top ten insults on the website
