HOLLYWOOD, Jan 12 (LifeSiteNews.com) – An enterprising Internet speculator is attempting to humiliate Paramount Pictures by routing all visitors to a pro-life site devoted to ending partial-birth abortion. John Langley purchased the rights to the “varsityblues.com” domain name, pre-empting the company from doing so in order to promote its new movie Varsity Blues.
Angered at Viacom’s (Paramount’s parent company) threats of legal action, Langley now sends people who are searching the Internet for Varsity Blues information to National Right to Life’s National Campaign to End Partial-Birth Abortions website. Langley offered to sell Viacom the domain name but said his proposal met with hostility. Catholic World News, reporting on the incident, said that Langley chose the site to represent his personal beliefs and to repulse “the liberal Hollywood elite.”
