Absurd.org. Absurdity finally has a website. You will go here, and wish to tear out your eyeballs, scream, and rool on the floor. You will feel your braincells committing hari-kari. The creators of the site even have a mission statement: "this page(s) serve(s) as a vehicle for our own criticism of the modern technology in the specific area of profanation commonly known as "web design", proving us as an established champions of visual destruction and textual deformation, true möngers of the real[Dimension HÄtrÖss]."

My sainty...is slipping.

  • Like superbad, only more headache-inducing.
  • Pretty standard stuff, really.
  • Hmm. Some interesting stories and stuff (I did like the mall Santa one), but a lot of crap that just seems to say, "Look at me! I make no sense! I'm ABSURD! Get it? ABSURD.ORG! It's wacky!" Intentionally broken links, intentionally misspelled words... most of this stuff makes me think of a guy who wears mismatched socks in order to fight conformity and the MAN.
  • Agreed, flongj. Reminds me of jodi.org (warning, will resize your browser window) and hell.com, back in the day.
  • Like Punky Brewster?
  • /looks down at socks. shrugs.
  • Absurd.org: "we're angry former art students who just graduated from (prestigious art school) and we want to tear the world of web design apart by putting lots of stuff on the page seemingly at random, but really we planned it sort of. Phear us." Yep. Seen that before. T-shirt wasn't worth buying.
  • Yep, jodi was doing this years ago, when the internets still seemed like an over-arching meta narrative with post-foucauldian panopticon properties. Now it's just baby pandas and pr0n. Which is fine by me.
  • I loved it when I first found it about umm..6 years ago. It's a little snippet of webglory for the historians. But where is the baby panda pr0n?
  • Naughty pelican!
  • real[Dimension HÄtrÖss] The creators are Voivod fans?
  • I hate to be the party pooper, but that site is not absurd, simply dysfunctional.
  • I looked at it, but I did not rool on the floor. I was looking forward to that.
  • kit...you see me as pelican....I see you as kidfista - this explains why my pron-lateral thoughts arise when you're around. There may be taskforces after you, however.
