SOPA Blackout javascript "landing page"

Some code I modified from sopablackout.org to fit the needs of the Open Source Club. It temporarly blacks out the page until the user clicks. This however could be used for any type of important webpage announcement. You should probably talk to sopablackout.org for rights to this code before using it for any other purpose.

(function (){
 var root = this;

 var SopaBlackout = function(){};
 var addEvent = function(obj, type, fn, ref_obj){
  if (obj.addEventListener){
   obj.addEventListener(type, fn, false);
  }else if (obj.attachEvent){
   obj["e"+type+fn] = fn;
   obj[type+fn] = function(){
    obj["e"+type+fn](window.event,ref_obj);
   };
   obj.attachEvent("on"+type, obj[type+fn]);
  }
 };
