I'm sure it's totally innocuous.

it's so obviously a fake site. probably a demo someone did for a potential client.
a banner ad with a 12 year old's midriff? give me a break.

If so, it's still in bad taste. Or...potentially bad taste...
It's downright weird.
This reminds me of a site that no longer exists. They advertised with a proffesional looking website. It was body disposal for murder cover ups. It was funny. Had the whole customer comments and different package set ups and everything. I mean, it looked totally convincing except you just knew it wasn't real.

Yeah I am assuming it's a joke. Although there is also
http://www.rentmyson.com so that's taking the joke to pointless extremes.
I hope it is a joke.
Where did Fluffy come across it (as it were)? that might answer the question ...

It was linked to in the newsbox for a comic I read.
Here's one I saw being guerilla marketed on a subway (probably some marketing student's final project):

I found this on that site:
"...I just got my suicide note back from you guys and it's so beautiful and so elegant that I can hardly wait till my beast of a wife finds it next to my dead and bloated body!...Goodbye cruel world, hello posthumous legacy!"

That picture at the top of the daughter page is definitely pretty sexual.
I could see this as being a prostitution ring that uses the children thing as a cover-up. You know, for like, dads to buy their 16-year-old sons a special gift...
Whether it's a joke or not, it's really fucked up <i>and</i> morbidly hilarious.

you're thinking of 'cadaver inc', which was actually the (pretty sweet) website for the death metal band cadaver.
