Not strictly music news, but what the hell? A website set up on a whim by an American student the day after the US presidential elections has now received in excess of 27 million hits. James Zetlen decided to post a photo of himself holding up a sign reading: "Sorry world (we tried) - half of America", apologised to the world that 51% of his fellow countrymen decided to vote Bush in for another four years. Other Americans flooded Zetlen with similar photos - there are now over 2200 up there - and the website has become something of a hit. You can check it at http://www.sorryeverybody.com
Of course, the Bush faithful have responded and according to the Guardian there are now eight similar sites filled with photos of Americans saying they are glad they voted for Bush. We don't know the names of any of them though.
