What is going on at RollingStone.com? The magazine’s website seems to have been taken over by a very lame ad. Has the magazine lost their domain name? (via @MacMcClelland)

Update: Looks like RollingStone.com is back up (to view a screenshot of the mysterious ad that replaced the magazine’s entire site click here), but none of the links on the site are working. Also, still no word on what exactly went wrong? Did Rolling Stone forget to register their domain name? And, if so, did the magazine have to pay big bucks to get it back?
