I LOVE the blinking "NEW" by Hulu Plus.
Brilliant. And incredibly well done. Slow image loads, old internet references, a page counter in the double-digits and a guest book, blinking and scrolling text... utterly fantastic :D

It really is the little touches that make this so awesome. A lot of would-be pranksters settle for the quick first impression hit and then move on. But the deeper you dig here the more fun you find. From the grainy images to the IE and
Netscape buttonsat the bottom its pure 90s

They also used an open graph meta tag, too. So people can easily share the prank on Facebook, presumably. A little ironic.

...but maybe it's really about plain, dumb, and irrational nostalgia.
