Ahh, Zombo.com . I remember that.
The whole thing was (presumably) created as a parody. It's been around for at least 9 years now. The best explanation of it I've come across is that it's intended as a parody of the late-nineties dot com bubble, when people truly did seem to believe that the internet was the best vehicle for pretty much everything.
It's a bit outdated now, and I'm frankly surprised that it still exists. My friends and I all thought it was hilarious, back when we first found it.
As for bandwidth, the whole site consists of a 7KB flash animation, and I can't imagine it's getting a ton of hits these days. My guess is that whoever created it is hosting it on the same server as some legitimate/profitable content, and just never bothered to take it down.
