My problem with spontaneous human combustion is that never seems to happen to the "right" people.

jodi.org! Fucking art fucking fucks!

Man, I've had this URL at the bottom of my basket for a LONG time. jodi.org is a weird place. I just don't know. It doesn't make any sense, and everybody's already had a link to it. BUT I LOVE IT!!!!
You just have to dig this site. It's the FREAK. It's WEIRD. It's got PARASITIC JAVASCRIPT that, instead of putting crazy PORN ADS with hot Japan ass action on it, sends squirrely Netscape windows skidding around the corners of your screen, and blipping, blinking crazy script that looks like bad modem noise. Just a BIT of information, but not enough to make any sense.
And this big CRAZY MAP! That's what the most crazy part is. That MAP! See, there's this BIG ASS DIAGRAM with circles and networks of lines implying some kind of ORGANIZATION and little boxes and RABBITS and stuff that are links to crazy hacker sites like Dutch Threat and bad brainfucker sites like RTMark.
What's the DEAL? I dunno. I was doing some hitmongering by trying to get pigdog.org on the big crazy jodi.org map:
From: mr.bad@pigdog.org
To: webmaster@jodi.org
Subject: HEY!
Jesus FUCK! Whaddaya WANT from us?
http://www.pigdog.org/
~Mr. Bad
Here's what I got back:
From: JODI
To: "Mr. Bad"
Subject: Re: HEY!
J us=EX; Sad crazineaCFss ensues. Yet another
fabulous PIrkeley../~GDOV VFNTERVIEK!
Whaddaya WANT fro .com/us//~R#!?

See what I'm talking about? JODI is a big FREAK. I feel vaguely insulted, actually.
ANywaYS, there's been lots of puzzling about this jodi.org site in many other venues. I was kinda thinking I'd do this daring expose', with all kinds of adventurous investigative reporting, and I even got so far as to do a WHOIS look up. And then it hit me: JODI is DUTCH. DUTCH!!!!! This is all I needed to know. FREAKS!! It explains everything.
So, go check out jodi.org, explore around, and be prepared to close your browser window. This is viewer-hostile Web art.
