A friend told me about this.
No matter you opinion on this whole thing, go check it out. Pretty creative.
http://www.111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111.com/ (http://www.111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111.com/) (If you click on it you have to delete the "br" tag and the space right after //www. Basically it is //www.11111 (sixty ones) .com
Make sure you allow popus for the site, [if you using google toolbar, you've got to disable it completely in the options because it pops up windows later on. No adds, just site content... you'll understand]
Cheers!
Informtion on the site. It took me a while to get to it... heh...
60X1.com is a website whose sole content consists of splash pages- the
opening pages for most websites, usually containing a small amount of
graphics. After clicking through all the splash pages the spectator will
find there is actually no core content, opening the question of definition
regarding content in web pages.
60X1.com is designed to be user-unfriendly, aiming to serve as a counter
structure to the model of most successful websites- portal sites where all
the links are contained in one interface in order to generate a maximum
number of hits, instead 60X1 is designed to generate a minimum amount of
hits with it's long domain name, one way navigation and it's big file sizes
of images, existing as an experiment to test viewers' patience and
expectation, as well as calling the internet into question as a forum for
communication.
One way navigation denies the concept of the internet being a web.
The experiments on internet communication continue within 60X1. Certain
elements in this site play with phenomena that only exist within the
confines of the internet-the Hoax, irresponsible postings on numerous
message boards, and strange identities that only exist in cyber worlds
including Asian Prince, Supergreg, GeorgeWgirls, Peter Pan etc...Take Asian
Prince as an example: The original identity of the now so-called Asian
prince was a Vietnamese glamrock singer in the late seventies. In late 1999
an anonymous man found the image and applied a whole new identity, Asian
Prince onto this retired rock star's image. After this secondary
manipulation, 60X1.com comes in and remanipulates the readymade identity.
The manipulations can have several directions. I can erase the post original
and apply a new set of meanings onto the figure or simply extend an already
constructed identity. This process of altering meaning and identity can only
be seen in the internet realm because the creator/manipulator usually
perceives the internet as a medium that does not have to bear too much
responsibility while publishing controversial material. One interesting
anecdote is one morning I actually received a phone call from a woman who
desperately wanted to meet Asian Prince, thus taking the process of three
constructed and shifting identities and their subsequent meanings and
turning it once more with a fourth process-elements of the virtual world
transcend and become reality.
60X1.COM will keep proliferating until it reaches sixty splash pages.
Keep clicking the “ENTER” button until you see the last page. Bon Voyage!

Might want to post that link properly. There's no way I'm counting out sixty characters just to find out it's some dumb**** flash movie or something.
-
It is posted properly, but the VBB doesn't handle such a long link well.
-
meh, I see the 'url' problem :doubt:
:)
-
That's why for long-ass hyperlinks you use the embedded URL tag (http://www.awwwyibbayibbayibbayibbayibba.co.uk/radioactive_corn_porn/happynowkids?.html).
Common sense, dude.
-
Click your URL's you'll see what I mean
-
Which produces the same error! You win a free dish washer for that great advice, Stryke! :D
-
Yeah, I see that. Like I said. Looks like it doesn't like mine either, but it inserts that break after at least twice as many characters as yours, and I intentionally chose an unrealistically long URL.
Like I said. Common sense. The same thing that tells you that if you want someone to visit a link but don't want to explain to them in any detail at all what it is and whether it's worthwhile, you don't require them to fulfill some tedious list of instructions just to get the ****ing thing working.
Lighty: Yeah, and I take ten characters offa that and it fits. That's more characters than you will ever, ever need. Anything with a URL that even approaches being that long is going to be a godawful site anyway.
-
radioactive corn porn... I have to remember that one... :D
-
Then don't visit it? :wtf:

it's the strangest website i've ever visited. i'm scared!!!:nervous:
-
Just wait still it starts playing the theme song from titanic... sheesh.. that's scary.

Just click quote on the original post and cut and paste.
That's a real wierd site Fractux. Salvador Dali would be rolling in his elephant.

The site just makes me thnk about Alice in Wonderland (Both probably the result of an acid trip).. heh...maybe it's just the cold medicine... :eek:
Down, down, down. Would the fall never come to an end? "I wonder how many miles I've fallen by this time?" she said aloud. "I must be getting somewhere near the centre of the earth. Let me see: that would be four thousand miles down, I think-" (for, you see, Alice had learnt several things of this sort in her lessons in the school-room, and though this was not a very good opportunity for showing off her knowledge, as there was no one to listen to her, still it was good practice to say it over) "-- yes that's about the right distance -- but then I wonder what Latitude or Longitude I've got to?" (Alice had not the slightest idea what Latitude was, or Longitude either, but she thought they were nice grand words to say.)

That site is pretty creative. Kudos to the guy who made it--pretty good photoshop stuff. Especially the Rambo/Kim Ill'n scene.
Ohh, quick tip: the page is best enjoyed with the midi Bon Jovi -- and DON'T LET JESUS BOMB YOU!!!
