Welcome to The PalinDrome. It's really quite funny. And don't miss the wedding registry for Bristol and Levi.

Do you think it's unfair or just not funny?

We are not amused.

You are correct that the website is a spoof. I went right past it without looking closely, en route to the J. C. Penney registry. However, the J. C. Penney site checks out. The page is actually being served from a domain registered to J. C. Penney, and apparently managed by Computer Sciences Corporation. I looked the domain address jcpenney.com up on Security Space, and then verified it on Google, which confirmed the host www5.jcpenney.com. where the purported bridal registry page is coming from. That actually is a machine hosting the J. C. Penney bridal registry. We are talking about real money and real merchandise, in short, and very possibly, wire fraud. It's not just a spoof, whatever it is, and I don't know what the devil J. C. Penney is playing at.

For real? The wedding date listed is Nov. 4, 2008: I'm pretty sure they're going to be busy with other stuff that day.

Look at the stuff: camo diaper bag, American Flag dishes....

It's a spoof, or else we've passed deep into self-parody territory.

Yup, the wedding registry is for real, and I cannot imagine what J. C. Penney was thinking about to become involved in an operation which so closely resembles the soliciting of bribes. The Palin family, yes, I understand them only all too well, but J. C. Penney is a respectable company, which has been in business for more than a hundred years.

A wealthy couple I know got married a few years back. On the wedding invitations, they sensibly declared that they had everything they needed, and did not want wedding gifts. Instead, they enclosed circulars for The Heifer Project, a charity which buys livestock for families in third-world countries. For a thousand dollars or so, you can buy a water buffalo for a village in Indonesia. Anyway, that was a classy thing to do. Sarah Palin doesn't understand about class.

But, confound it, J. C. Penney should have understood for her, like a good English butler, or a Jeeves-type valet, and stopped her from doing something undignified.

As someone with the same class and regional background as Pilon, I recommend this site as a delicious skewering of the American lower middle class. It would be a bit more authentic with fewer mispellings and more fumbled aposotrophe's. Note that someone bought the tool kit.
