WTF is this shit? This site makes no sense, groundbreakingly horrible design, and totally unclear mission and purpose. Just 100% BS. Maybe it's a jaberwocky. [VIDEO]
Read original comment ↗This reminds me of Better Off Ted's Jabberwocky Project: [VIDEO] Which, of course, is a parody of the late '90s tech boom and some of the useless, fluffy companies that were spawned.
