YAWN!

Sometimes our heroes have been shown to stand on feet of clay in some aspects of their lives.

But what troubles me about this Web site, besides it ranking so high in search engines, is the lack of anything new here.

White supremacists put down King. Really???? What's next? Nazis hating Jewish people???

Google reports that the site is drawing heavy traffic - even more than a real Web site hosted by the King Center - www.thekingcenter.org. This time of year, search traffic for King's name shoots through the roof. You can imagine the number of young people searching.

Some have said that a trick used by the Web site host in the name of the site is diverting a lot of folks who never intended to see the domain. The surviving King children say there's nothing they can do to get the site yanked. Source

Isaac Newton Farris Jr., King's nephew and head of the non-profit King Center in Atlanta, told the newspaper that free speech guarantees allow the site to use say what it pleases about King, as long as it doesn't use his name in Web site address, which it avoids by not using "Jr."

"You can't stop people from having opinions," Farris said. "If people think my uncle was adulterous and didn't have a Ph.D., we can't do anything about that."

I suppose some people simply have far too much time on their hands.

If visiting this dopey Web site or doing something equally productive like visiting the circus to see the dog-faced boy are your cup of tea, go for it.

Just don't expect to learn anything or feel any better about yourself or King or the world around you when you're done. You can find those things here at BV or in many other places.
