So, yesterday I went to normalbobsmith.com for a little humor. The site was shut down. Weird, I thought. Then I found out that the reason it was shut down had something to do with complaits filed by LaptopLobbists:

Just now I went to LandoverBaptist.org, again for a little humor. The site was redirected to http://objective.jesussave.us/shutdown.html .........
Someone tell me this is all an April Fools joke.

Alrighty, It's an April Fools joke.
Especially considering that the "shutdown landover" site itself is parody.

hahaha, they got me... I guess I should have read the shutdown site a little more.... However, I don't think the NormalBobSmith.com shutdown is a joke.

It's not an April Fool's joke or a parody, AFIK. (But now that you mention it, I wonder.)
There's a thread here, with some activism plans:

It's a possibility that his ISP pulled his plug for offensive materials, but there is VASTLY worse content on the web that goes untouched, so I strongly disbelieve that it is serious.
And even so, it's not like they can stop him from selling his products when you can still buy crucifix-shaped dildos at online stores. If he got the boot from a conservative ISP, he'll just find another and be up in a flash.
