Someone is making some interesting short URLs: http://wh.gov/poop http://wh.gov/dude http://wh.gov/dick http://wh.gov/bush

These two go to the same picture of Biden, so it's not just random 4 letter assignments: http://wh.gov/cunt http://wh.gov/wank

See what you can find =X

Did clicking this link just sign some poor soul onto a mailing list?

If so, why was this link posted to HN?

I don't know why it was posted to HN, but wget shows a redirect to http://www.whitehouse.gov/jerk?utm_source=wh.gov&utm_med... and then to http://www.whitehouse.gov/organization-thank-you?sid=1849320..., so probably not signing anyone up for a mailing list.
