As it's going around my f-list now...

ETA; As of June 15th, no longer working. When you did that, it went to a Newsweek page with the beginnings of stories about the zombie apocalypse (all the "Read more" links went back to the regular Newsweek page).

... boosting signal. :)

Go to http://www.newsweek.com.

Type in the Konami code,* and hit enter.

Enjoy!



* If you don't know what the Konami code is: up up down down left right left right b a (The directions are arrow keys.)

I'm missing something! What is it supposed to do?

[telophase]

Goes to a page about the zombie apocalypse. :)

Damn, it's broken for me. =/

Check my ETA - seems to have been active for only one day. :)

I tried that, but no. Is this an iMac of fail? :^o

I dunno. Did you remember to hit enter at the end? (Or go to the WIkipedia page I linked and check to see if some of the other sites work for you.)

I got it to work but also missed the hit enter part on my first try. Mostly because I was trying the sonic cheat code instead.

AAAAAHHHHH ZOMBIES AAAAAAHHHHHH

I wish at least *one* of those links was live. I'd like to see what other people would say... if they'd get into it, like a giant RP. THAT would be fun. ^_^

Thanks for sharing, I passed it on.

I know. I wish most of the top-level links actually went to an article. That would have been so much fun.

ROFL! Spreading the zombie infection...

Is this just a big practical joke? I tried newsweek and several of the other sites. I tried Chrome, Firefox, and IE. I did this both at home and at work on completely different computers and networks. None of it has worked.

What's supposed to happen?

[tempest-strife.livejournal.com]

The site probably fixed it. Doesn't work on mine either.

[telophase.livejournal.com]

It's no longer doing it. It went to a page reporting news from the zombie apocalypse.
