The Onion - United Bimmer Community

I know theonion.com got a recent Cease-and-Desist from the White House for using their Presidental Seal inappropriately... however I just tried to go to their site and it seems to be down completely now.

Anyone know the story as to what happened to them? Surely they'd have taken down the seal and not been disconnected over something that stupid.

Edit: Here's another article about it on CNN: http://www.cnn.com/2005/POLITICS/10/...eut/index.html
