Is this real, or is it a hack?

I'm having trouble believing this is real. Here's a little bit from the page:

BUSH CAMPAIGN GROUP ENDORSES KERRY
"Yes, Bush Can" now says "no, Bush can't!"

Yes, Bush Can, an independent group dedicated to communicating Bush policies directly to the public, has abandoned its campaign and is officially endorsing John Kerry for President.

I've heard it's a parody site, but I've never been able to find confirmation of that.

Well, phooey (http://www.alternet.org/election04/20310/). I knew it was too good to be true.

"Yes, Bush Can is a mock campaign operating under the pretense of getting Bush re-elected. The Yes Men use the faux campaign, however, to expose the problems with the Bush administration. 'People often think "Yes, Bush Can" is a pro-Bush campaign,' said Yes Man Mike Bonanno, 'And they’re right. Our goal was to be more pro-Bush than Bush supporters, to make them feel revolted by our openness about Bush's plans and goals.'"
