  2. The real question by AKAImBatman · · Score: 5, Funny

    Will this be like the previous "Swim the Atlantic" bit? "Oh no! Someone pulled the power cord on the screen, so we can't do it! But we REALLY tried! See? And don't forget to download Opera!"

    Meh.

  4. Goatse anyone? by delphipro · · Score: 5, Funny

    Any chance of getting goatse up there? Think about the public service that would be, hundreds of thousands of people sobering up instantly. Of course, it will also point out which of your friends are truly grotesque as they are the only ones smiling while everyone else is gagging.

    That equates roughly to a resolution of 2418x951 give or take a few

    Since it's in times square, does that make it a new year's resolution?
