The best site from web 1.0

My friends, I have found one of the most mind-altering sites on the interwebs: http://www.sugarbushsquirrel.com. This site is a compilation of photos of a pet squirrel dressed in different outfits, hopping around on tiny little sets.




It's not just cutesey stuff, either. This photo is a tribute to Benazir Bhutto:



The caption reads:
SNN Squirrel News Network News Flash

Benazir Bhutto has been assassinated...

Benazir Bhutto 6/21/53 - 12/27/07

Opposition leader, Benazir Bhutto, was assassinated in Pakistan on December 27th, just 2 months after her triumphant return from exile. Sugar Bush Squirrel and the SNN Squirrel News Network send their condolences to her family and followers.


My personal favorite, though, is this photo of Sugar Bush Squirrel inspecting the gallows before Saddam Hussein's execution:



The caption precedes it:
SNN News...


As Saddam Hussein was sweating it out in his cell reflecting on the heinous crimes he had committed, Sugar Bush Squirrel was volunteering for sentry duty and inspecting the gallows before the punishment was finally carried out. Hussein was hanged in Iraq, December 30, 2006.


This one is from the tsunami in 2004.



Supermodel, Petra Nemcova held on to the top of a palm tree for 8 hours during the deadly tsunami in Asia. Nemcova, 25, and Simon Atlee, 33, were in the Thai resort of Khao Lak on Dec. 26th, 2004, when one of the deadliest tsunamis in modern history hit and more than 200,000 people are believed to have died.


They should have sent a poet:



In the photo to the left you will see Sugar Bush holding a photo of al-Zarqawi and the photo below shows the cache she and the Special Forces found. Sugar Bush Squirrel will continue to stay undercover in Iraq and Afghanistan until Osama bin Laden and Abu Musab al-Zarqawi are both captured. While al-Zarqawi is primarily 'operational', bin Laden is primarily 'inspirational', yet the evil duo has 25 million dollars riding on each of their heads! The brave and undaunted, Sugar Bush Squirrel, plans to donate it all to her favorite charities when she captures them.


This is the "weapons cache":




Who are these people? Why do they have so much time on their hands? Why is the website one long, chronological, animated .gif infested, glorious monstrosity? I don't know, but this is certainly a baffling cultural artifact that must not be missed. (thanks to cute overload for exposing me to this phenomenon)
