We're all going to die, obviously.
Some stupid viral for some stupid movie or game.
4chan was buzzing about it. There was an amazing amount of GETS in a thread, thats about it.
/b/ trying to create IRL drama, but failing massively due to their combined stupidity and inability to plan shit.
Yeah, we're all going to die, you'd better believe it bitch.
Wasn't there a spam bot a few days ago spamming this?
[code]function countdown_clock(year, month, day, hour, minute, format) { html_code = '<div id="countdown"></div>'; document.write(html_code); countdown(year, month, day, hour, minute, format); } function countdown(year, month, day, hour, minute, format) { Today = new Date(); Todays_Year = Today.getFullYear() - 2000; Todays_Month = Today.getMonth(); //Convert both today's date and the target date into miliseconds. Todays_Date = (new Date(Todays_Year, Todays_Month, Today.getDate(), Today.getHours(), Today.getMinutes(), Today.getSeconds())).getTime(); Target_Date = (new Date(year, month - 1, day, hour, minute, 00)).getTime(); //Find their difference, and convert that into seconds. Time_Left = Math.round((Target_Date - Todays_Date) / 1000); if(Time_Left < 0) Time_Left = 0; switch(format) { case 0: //The simplest way to display the time left. document.all.countdown.innerHTML = Time_Left + ' seconds'; break; case 1: //More datailed. days = Math.floor(Time_Left / (60 * 60 * 24)); Time_Left %= (60 * 60 * 24); hours = Math.floor(Time_Left / (60 * 60)); Time_Left %= (60 * 60); minutes = Math.floor(Time_Left / 60); Time_Left %= 60; seconds = Time_Left; dps = 's'; hps = 's'; mps = 's'; sps = 's'; //ps is short for plural suffix. if(days == 1) dps =''; if(hours == 1) hps =''; if(minutes == 1) mps =''; if(seconds == 1) sps =''; document.all.countdown.innerHTML = '<span class="d">' + days + ' day' + dps + '</span><br />'; document.all.countdown.innerHTML += '<span class="h">' + hours + ' hour' + hps + ' </span>'; document.all.countdown.innerHTML += '<span class="m">' + minutes + ' minute' + mps + '</span><br />'; document.all.countdown.innerHTML += '<span class="s">' + seconds + ' second' + sps + '</span><br />'; break; default: document.all.countdown.innerHTML = Time_Left + ' seconds'; } //Recursive call, keeps the clock ticking. setTimeout('countdown(' + year + ',' + month + ',' + day + ',' + hour + ',' + minute + ',' + format + ');', 1000); } [/code] Page source. Obvious fake.
Eon8 was better.

Eon8 clone?
countdown + ambiguity = obvious arg

Obvious fake.[/QUOTE] Really this just gives it away [code] Today = new Date(); Todays_Year = Today.getFullYear() - 2000; Todays_Month = Today.getMonth(); [/code] It just gets a random new date for every day/month/year that pasess and counts down a random increment of time. EDIT: Just looked at it through the chrome inspector, just a countdown clock with the date 09/02/09 set. Nothing special

[QUOTE=markg06;16502904]Why not go on #sept2nd on twitter?[/QUOTE] Because you just got spammers putting together the trending topics to get followers.
