OT: Hilarious ESPN.com easter egg

[Phokus]

Hurry before they fix this (they fixed a lot of the pages unfortunately):

https://r.espn.go.com/members/index

type up up down down left right left right b a and enter a bunch of times (yes, basically the contra code)



edit:

they fixed the website, but here's a cache that still has the effect

Gentlemen, search google for "espn", and click on the "cached" sublink, as the requisite script to get the wonderful unicorns to display is still present there.
