Dante’s Inferno Website Passwords: http://hellisnigh.com

Robert — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 23:10:13 +0000

Dante’s Inferno hid passwords for their website http://hellisnigh.com in the source code of various websites. When you enter them all you get to download a zip file called “earthly_rewards_dantes_inferno.zip”. I’ll let you know what it is once it finishes (46MB and climbing) — the website is really slow right now. You can probably try to download it directly here, let me know if it doesn’t work: http://www.hellisnigh.com/files/earthly_rewards_dantes_inferno.zip

Fark writes a book about “How Mass Media Tries to Pass Off Crap As News”, which is blatantly advertised on their website using Farkitrol®, a fake prescription medicine website claiming to help “Missing White Girl Syndrome”. Today Fark sold entire views of the site’s advertising to ABC for a 20/20 special claiming to show a tape of prime suspect Joran Van der Sloot, as he admits being there when Natalee Holloway was dying.

If you believe stories about missing white girls are crap news, why decide to advertise exactly that to your users?
