Clever, despite the flippant title, they make a point:
"It is clear that this annoying and utterly useless website is designed to nothing more than channel political activism into a cul-de-sac, and therefore we request you stop this irritating sideshow and shut down petitions.whitehouse.gov."
I misread the UI and thought they had a lot more signatures.
Another somewhat similar petition cleared the 25,000 sig threshold in October. Here is what the White House said:

- jcoder 14y agoI think you misread the UI. It currently has ~270 signatures, and needs the remaining 99730 to reach the threshold.

- generalseven 14y agoYes, I originally misread it, and edited my reply.
