I hope Sweep closes this.

Why? I'm generally confused by this and wanted other opinions. Maybe I'm missing something.

Is that a virus.

This is most dubious.

It's a song by Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five about the streets that was sampled by Ice Cube in the remix of Check Yourself.

Go reference the Giant Bomb best URL of the year award segment. This one was a runner up behind frog fractions. Nothing dubious about it, I just don't get it.

It's just a joke with a straight-faced buildup. Nothing more than that.

Edit: And yeah, it's legit, folks.

What do you mean you "don't get it"? As in you don't find it funny?

...I didn't tought it was funny, but yeah, there's nothing to get.

Yes, I guess I don't find its reveal funny or clever so I'm asking if maybe others find something more subtly intriguing in it - maybe something I missed. Giant Bomb thinks highly of it so there must be something to it.

You should have said as much in the OP. It's a very wise idea to not click random links on the internet, and this was a random link. Not clicking it unless I know where it goes.

Good use of the Xanatos Gambit, even if you're wrong, you've still won. Excuse me while I try not to loose my head.
