There seems to be a trend to interesting/funny 404s for presidential campaigns.

https://www.barackobama.com/45325r/ has a "thanks, Obama" GIF meme.

https://www.bobbyjindal.com/dfka blames the 404 on Obama with #ThanksObama" too.

For the barackobama.com 404 page I got a message that said "Sorry, we couldn't fetch that page for you." and a gif of some dogs chasing after a ball.

There's a "Thanks, Obama" gif towards the bottom. I missed it at first too.

Yeah but scroll down; the thanks obama meme is below that :)

I wonder if the Jindal supporters realize that joke's on them?

I honestly can't decide if it's plain tone-deaf or cleverly self-deprecating.

They making fun of how the "Blame Bush" crowd immediately converted to "Thanks Obama" in 2009.

Yes, I know what meme the means. They are making fun of people who use the meme as a way of defecting criticism from the President, especially in light their sudden reversal from blaming the President for everything from letting the 9/11 attacks to happen to a conspiracy to keep gas prices high to letting a hurricane make landfall in New Orleans.

There are some wild 404 pages outside of campaigns, too: Bloomberg (http://www.bloomberg.com/404) has a pretty nutty one.

Jindal's page has a donation gadget on its 404 page... Classy.

What is wrong with that? It is an election campaign... you are visiting their website, they are going to ask for money. It is not like this is some "free" product that starts charging all of a sudden. Money drives the machine, doesn't mean I agree with it, just the facts. So why not throw the right hook?

I fail to see what's wrong with that. Bernie's 404 lets you register for his email list.
