Looks like <a href="http://www.hardocp.com" target="_blank">[H]ard|OCP</a> has noticed the site too. Although, I don't think they know its a parody.

Look, I give the Mac guys a hard time, just because we are PC guys...and that's our job..."teasing" the Mac guys. But the truth be told, we are all brothers in computers. At heart, a computer geek is a computer geek, whether they are Linux, BeOS, Unix, OSX, Windows. So it kinda irked me to stumble across this article here. ( scroll down a bit )

<strong>The real operating system hiding under the newest version of the Macintosh operating system (MacOS X) is called... Darwin! That's right, new Macs are based on Darwinism! While they currently don't advertise this fact to consumers, it is well known among the computer elite, who are mostly Atheists and Pagans. Furthermore, the Darwin OS is released under an "Open Source" license, which is just another name for Communism</strong>
The parody site appears to be having some problems because of the shear numbers of people linking to it from HardOCP.

I think the "ads" are basically a way of having a list of the whackiest Christian sites on the net. I mean, there's an "ad" for <a href="http://www.americandecency.org/" target="_blank">this site</a> which uses the slogan "Are You Boycotting enough companies?"
