jindalisgood.com is a scam

we just read an interesting john hill column here. in his article mr. hill mentions a website called jindalisgood.com:

Boasso said he is also offended by a pro-Jindal Web site, www.jindalisgood.com, that calls him “the Tony Soprano” of the governor’s race, a reference to the mobster from the hit HBO television series. “I guess it’s a reference to my Italian name,” Boasso said. Villere and a Jindal spokesman said they have nothing to do with the Web site.
so we decided to do a whois look-up (see link) for that domain to see if we could find out who is behind the site:

so then we googled "highland studios"

which brought us to this website: www.highlandstudios.com

at first we thought these geniuses had corned the market on the "__is good" thing. then after we followed another hyperlink to their other website www.wearyourstory.com it hit us - jindalisgood, johnedwardsisgood and obamaisgood are nothing more than a front to sell their tee-shirts! gannett and john hill just gave a hyperlink and free advertising to to some scammer clan down in baton rouge -- too funny.

**update** here is yet another one of the "__is good" scam sites -- markwarnerisgood.com
