they contribute to WUNC, so if you listen to All Things Considered or
Morning Addition you can hear an ad for www.123nc.com there as well! 
Probably trying to make themselves seem more "legitimate" by contributing
to public radio.

...and I had to check it out.

http://www.123nc.com

here's their wonderful motto:

"123nc.com lets you instantly search every criminal record in North
Carolina.  Why worry about someone's past when you can know the truth
right now?"

$12.00 per search, $6.00 per record.

It was hilarious because when I heard the radio ad for this thing, the
narrator kept saying how you "need" this information to be safe before
going out on a date for instance.  There were a bunch of us sunbathing
in front of Craige dorm listening to this ad on a portable radio and we
all laughed for about five minutes and made fun of it.  I had to go
check it out and I think you should too.
