Enter Code, Get 30 Lives at ESPN.com

[The Good Doctor]

Forgive the possible D_B but ...

Enter the Contra code (up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, b, a, enter) at ESPN.com's home page and see what happens. Keep hitting enter.

Wow - that was really strange...

I was just about to start this thread. Some dude in the office just walked over and showed me.

That's insane.

 

[KevinmH9]

That's pretty strange. Cool, I guess.

 

[Mystery_Meat]

Wonder what happens when you do the Contra Code on other sites?

 

[zeke12]

Does my PC have swine flu, now?

 

[Beaker]

Well, that was odd...

Firefox and IE7 both yes on ESPN.

Amazon, Yahoo, Google, YouTube and Sportsline all no.

 

[zeke12]

No longer working...

 

[The Big Ragu]

Glad I got to see the pretty things before someone scrooged it.

 

[CitizenTino]

I didn't see it. What happened?

 

[zeke12]

Unicorns, dude.

Rainbow Brites.

Jacked with the headlines on the page, too. Turned them pink and added words and stuff.

 

[JackReacher]

Dammit. Missed it.

 

[CitizenTino]

wtf?

 

[zeke12]

There's a screen grab on Deadspin, for those who missed it.

 

[zeke12]

And a cached version, for those who still want to try it.

And Zeke wins the thread.

 

[KYSportsWriter]

That. Was. Awesome.

 

[Mystery_Meat]

Yeah, watch where you're putting that unicorn horn there.
