You might expect the Bob Dole Web page to be inane. But point your browser to www.dole96.org/ , and everything seems just off. The Dole banana banner on Bob's podium, for instance.
Turns out it's a parody. Brooks Talley and Mark Pace have registered political domain names in preparation for the '96 campaign: wilson.org, clinton96.org, powell96.org - even gates96.org.
Some parody Web pages have been listed on Yahoo, resulting in a flood of visitors. But not everyone who visits gets the joke. "Most of the letters we get are from Republican college students who want to join the campaign," says Talley.
