Looking to avoid Obama’s drone ‘kill list’? Add yourself to ‘do not kill registry’.

How do you ensure your name doesn’t mistakenly land on U.S. President Barack Obama’s list of people to be captured or killed by a drone strike? Add yourself to the “Do Not Kill Registry,” of course.

As controversy over Obama’s recently exposed official “kill list” and expanding drone program spreads , a satirical website has launched a registry to “help(s) give people around the world the peace of mind urgently needed during these times of escalating drone conflict.”

The “National Agency for Ethical Drone-Human Interactions,” identified on the website as the group behind the initiative, launched the “Do Not Kill” registry as a way to “avoid accidental casualties in our mission to make the world a safe place for Democracy and Free Enterprise.”

The registry does not guarantee your safety, however, only that an “additional review process will be undertaken before you are labeled an enemy militant and added to the national kill list,” according to the site .
