      He did.

      That actually IS the advert that cost £6 million.

      I think, much like my gushing critique of HAB's Twitter, that this "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" error is explicitly designed to highlight man's loss of information in the global sea of the Internet.

      It's very post-modernistic and sublime in its approach.

      It's a modern take on opening the curtains and seeing nothing outside, because there is nothing there in the first place.

      By juxtaposing the loss of the environment with the loss of information, the reader is both literally and physically poor.

      Well, that's the only explanation I can come up with for spending £6 million on a blank web page. They approached a young and funky design agency who spouted the above moo-poo.
      Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
