Spoof Sites

 BP Oil:

As we all know, BP has been criticized in the past for its damaging effects on the environment. Drilling in general is bad but it is also unfortunate that we are not investing into alternate sources of fuel. For this website, I'd want to change a lot of the imagery. I'd want to switch out the current jpgs for images of the oil spill. I'd also go in and rewrite their objective page to something more demeaning - emphasize that their looking to drill up every last drop until our oil runs dry.

Walmart:

For Walmart's page, I would want to go in and change the look of it so the site feels much more totalitarian. Big businesses like Walmart are defeating the competitive nature of the economy and destroying small businesses. To show this, I would rely primarily on text and give it a much darker color scheme. I would want to replace all their deals banners with something more sinister like, "We're cutting back our prices this weekend. They're so low, they've hit rock bottom just like our economy!"

Microsoft:

For Microsoft, I would want to show how their products recently are becoming more and more like Apples. They're trying to play catch up to keep up with their competitors and in my opinion, they're struggling. This can be seen with their latest move to Windows 8, the touch screen interface of disaster. I think one way to approach this spoof would be to put a bunch of Apple products on the Windows website and make it look as though they are selling it off as their own.
