How did you find that and why are they doing that? Did George Romero buy Newsweek?

found this:

Quote:
"Newsweek.com becomes the latest in a long list of sites that will reveal an Easter egg if you enter the Konami code correctly (up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, b, a, enter). This is a cheat code that appeared in many of Konami's video games, starting around 1986 — my favorite places to use it were Contra and Life Force, 30 lives FTW. The Easter egg was probably included by a developer unbeknownst to the Newsweek powers that be. It's reminiscent of an incident that happened at ESPN last year, involving unicorns."

I anticipated the take down and took full screen shots. Im on my phone now at work so I'll upload them later. It even had fake links towards the bottom to other crazy stories. Thanks for the rep. Mother Fn Gold Star!

I can pretty much gurantee that they generated more traffic off of that easter egg than they did in the past two months. Very smart marketing.
