Whitehouse.org

whitehouse.org was a parody website that Chickenhead Productions created in 2001, though the domain was first registered in 1995. The banner at the top of the website's front page read: "THE WHITE HOUSE" (and then in smaller print underneath) "OFFICIOUS WEBSITE OF PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH". The website was a parody of former U.S. President George W. Bush and his family, friends and administration. The website had not changed for over a year since President Barack Obama took office on January 20, 2009, but is no longer online.

To avoid confusion between the parody and the bona fide White House website, the words "A Chickenhead Production parody" and a link to a disclaimer are listed at the bottom of each webpage. In spite of the site's authors' efforts to make the distinction obvious, some of the reader mail posted to the website indicates that some readers nevertheless believe (or at least pretend to believe) whitehouse.org is the real White House website. The actual White House site is at whitehouse.gov.

After six years of regular and frequent updates, the site ceased to be updated from September 14, 2007 until shortly before the inauguration of President Barack Obama. During the lengthy hiatus, on May 30, 2008, the site was briefly removed and replaced with a webpage giving an apparently serious warning that the site had been hacked and that recent visitors to the site may have been infected with trojan malware (although the warning was accompanied with the humorous suggestion that "communist Chineses" may be responsible) along with the announcement that there will be no new updates to the site until the web server is "back under our control". Currently, as of August 26th, 2012, the site is "suspended".

Chickenhead Productions has recently created a similar parody website for the George W. Bush Presidential Library at http://georgewbush.org/
