Newsweek does something awesome

Go here. (Newsweek.com)

Enter the ‘Konami code’ (Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A, Start (enter))

Enjoy.

Finally, Newsweek contributes something useful to society!

LMAO! That’s the funniest thing I’ve seen in days! Thanks!! :smiley:

nm.

Just enter the sequence with your keyboard when you’re at the main page (there isn’t a text box or anything like that).

Not getting it.

Nothing happens.

Not working for me, either. :mad:

It’s probably down, now that Sunday is past. The sequence revealed a mock Newsweek home page with the Headline “ZOMBIES ATTACK!” followed by a story about the undead rising from their graves with “an unsatiable [sic] desire for brains,” encouraging people to barricade themselves inside their homes, and reminding them not to let the walking dead inside.

Below, Newsweek Now features links to other stories, including “The Zombie Invasion Timeline” (apparently, Patient Zero was a former British citizen living in New York, and ate the brain of an attending neurosurgeon) and “Fleeing the Zombie Horde: What Are Our Options?” (barricades are falling, traditional warfare is ineffective, but there are many options for fleeing), “No End in Sght for Zombie Feast,” “Go For the Head,” and “Zombies and You.” Bylines credit Newsweek Digital art staff: art director Roberto Gonzalez-Rey, and digital designers Nicole Barth and Monica Parra.

To the left, The Spectrum features “The Smartest Takes on Today’s Big Story,” and displays comments bearing the names of three Newsweek Digital technology staffers, senior architect Tim Knight (paranoid government conspiracy comment) and applications developers Mike Robinson (brave, defiant, self-defense comment) and Mark Catalano (“Flee! Save Yourselves! Run now!”).

None of the links on the page work, except for one: the Zombies tag page redirects to a Newsweek search page for “Tea Party.”
