Ask HN: Morse code easter eggs
I wanted to insert a visible but really discreet morse code easter egg on my company website and I'm curious if anyone knows other websites that have done something similar. I will not put the URL here because I don't want it to look like I'm promoting my company or anything, but I would really want to see how/if others have done this. I've added it as an "active" selector for the "what we do" menu item. The morse code basically explains in two words what we do :)

Columbia is notorious for kidnappings, with kidnapping victims often being held for as long as 12 years.
The Columbian military teamed up with musicians to create a song, with the following message in morse code embedded in it:
“Nineteen people rescued. You are next. Don’t lose hope.”
Because many of the kidnapped victims were ex-military, they hoped that they would be able decode the message embedded in the song.
They played the song on the radio for months, reaching millions of people.
