Man, that is wunna the most detailed and extensive (and spookily accurate) parodies I've seen. The short bio at http://www.flickr.com/people/29059349@N00/ (the names match the whois entry for dhsnnw.org) matches the mood of the site exactly: ". . .a sick and twisted sense of humor that never ceases to push that line that maybe shouldn't be crossed."
