@benroyce Web admin had to type and or copy/paste 'furry' into httpd, cloudfront, nginx, or whatever reverse proxy they are using.
It may have already been in the clipboard... no judgement.
One more edit - Given that this is an official government site - I'd venture to guess to make this work the admin had to do this on between 4-8 individual systems/servers.
While I'd love to believe it was a 1 time settings change in a single location, I do not believe it was that efficient. This redirect was tedious work for some poor bastard.
@benroyce Sadly... depends on their allegiance at this point. Hopefully laughing 
@benroyce Nope a technical person had to put in a manual redirect for the double R mistake.
Quite literally a specific directive or regex is described to find it on the web server to ensure it goes to the right place.
@benroyce Important to note additional extra characters properly 404: https://rutherford.house.gov/media/press-releases/rutherford-statement-operation-epic-furrrrrrrrrrrrry
@benroyce Evidence of FURRY redirection --- well... that's telling.
The amount of effort to fix this in this sort of way is significantly greater than the amount of work just to not ever even respond to a web request that has the word 'furry' in it.
The level of incompetence is high - OR perhaps an intentional funny from some technical people that can say "OOPS". Hopefully the latter.
@benroyce NO - You do not redirect that shit.... YOU 404 it. DUMBASS
@benroyce LOL... the fact that someone had to put in a manual redirect in a cloudfront, nginx, or httpd config from furry to fury is absolutely amazing.
*edit - the redirect is still working so the 'furry' is part of the infrastructure.
AMAZING!
@countablenewt @lowqualityfacts BANG BANG!
@lowqualityfacts METH*od acting. The best.
@lowqualityfacts The timing on when that bag was placed in the cup is doing a lot of work here.
@verge In a location that requires two party consent would they be required to extend the drive-through interaction by first informing you this order will be monitored, processed, and recorded just like a support phone call?
@lowqualityfacts This fact seems true and may be of high quality... now I'm suspicious.
