Well probably cause of the graphics of kids and giant colorful animals and the silly immature (childlike) tone of the writing....and the fact there's nothing on there aimed at grownups with a higher interest in a slurpie, which for all intents and purposes is a frozen drink predominantly sold to KIDS over adults....

How many icees did I get as a kid: zillions
How many icees did I get as an adult: bout a dozen over a decade
How many icess did I get for my kids over 24 years: zillions


Kinda was a no brainer. This aint an 'adult swim' style cartoon site.

It's kiddie.

That's not really in the "assumption" category - it's based on a logical interpretation of the visual, there's strong evidence to support it.

As opposed to the "assumption" any of this is about cthulu, or Ethan Haas, or that somebody dropped the camera, or that the location was Rob's apartment, or that it was an apartment at all, etc. Most people assumed it was Rob's apartment because they were thinking only of the SURPRISE aspect of the party...but it was a GOING AWAY surprise party...and those, least from what I have observed, tend to happen somewhere other than the person's own house...a club, a hangout, where they work, a restaurant, etc.

That duck's in a hot air balloon. Ducks do not need hot air balloons.

Also, guess what.

There are exactly six animals on the history page.

Eww, this is getting to be like my shakespeare and the number twenty six theory.

If you watch/know much about anime you'll know there are significant differences between Anime geared towards kids and those geared towards adults. The music, animation, and coloring of the site shouts that it is geared towards kids, but the actual textual contents and layout of the site suggest there is something deeper.

and totally in Japanese

Slusho begs off from that in being in english too...catering to the west, and our culture....and we'd see that as aimed at kids but still. I get what you're saying....let's just keep this focused on slusho's curiosities. Obviously the grownups would be the ones examining it either way...

rialto - good call - why would ducks need hot air balloons? I mean is there some warped symbolism to this sorta thing or are we thinking too hard?

Jimmy - evidently the flash code itself seems to be set up for randomness so until there is something clear to dispute it, go with random and "wait for it." Pull the page up and move the images around a little and then go do other stuff. Check on it from time to time. Maybe reload the page a time or two along the way. I don't know how to make it happen, but I did see it clearly and it was one of those WOAH WTF? moments because they've been static save but the ticking. Once you see it you likely won't be thinking "eh, flash glitch"....but more like "ah ha! there IS something deliberately up with these pics!"

Has anyone thought to search Monster.com for the next clue?

I mean, the main character is starting a new job, and his hometown is being attacked by some sort of creature. The only clue we've found is the website for a japanese corporation.

Seems like the logical next step.

the music started and the animations stopped for me on the downloads page.

yeah, I think the cartoon style and general oddity of the site (and english translations) is supposed to be poking fun at Japan. The Japanese are well-known for having bizarre commercials and silly marketing, as well as very poor Japanese to English translation.

Was there always no music on the downloads page?
