You know the ones with the long-haired guy drawing on the white board? The background music is by Postal Service and I find that pretty frakkin' hilarious. I wonder if they did it to be ironic.

1. They probably didn't have a clue
Kind of like those Royal Caribbean cruise line commercials that use Iggy Pop's "Lust for Life", a song about a drug-addicted sex maniac.

2. Kind of like that one uber-religious anti-gay hate site that used Rufus Wainwright's version of
'Halleluja' as their background music... :P

4. It was a long time ago, I don't have the link anymore.
Wouldn't be surprised if it was still the same though. Typical incredibly ugly site, too many graphics, ridiculous amounts of text splattered about even though it's almost impossible to read because of brightly colored backgrounds... :P

5. Why do freeper-esque webpages SUCK?
I mean, some of that crap is the ugliest stuff I've ever seen.

If they want to be taken even remotely seriosuly, they should get new web designers.

Actually, even that wouldn't make anyone with half a brain take them seriously.

6. Since nobody with half a brain would take them seriously anyway, I guess there's no incentive to
improve their sites. :)

8. I'm sure all they heard was 'halleluja' and a couple references to biblical figures. :)
