Get the hits/traffic up because people hotlink to it, then sell the domain to a company that wants to make ad-traffic revenue off of it?

Or could because cause it annoys people not knowing WHY it's there.

Creepy. Reminds me of what Sci-Fi broadcast before they actually started running shows & such... anyone else remember that? It was like the starfield screensaver, with this voiceover saying "we're coming for YOU, John Brown." I'd watch for hours, half-afraid that my name would be mentioned. It never was.

So, yeah. Maybe it's just a placeholder until they get a cool site up and running.

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It's a bit outdated now, and I'm frankly surprised that it still exists.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.

hosting isn't exactly expensive, contrary to what some webmasters would have you believe. they simply just choose the most expensive route for l33t status at times, even when it's entirely unnecessary.

According to this site, Zombocom has existed unchanged since 1999.

Ladies and Gentlemen, this is Zombo number five.

One, two, three, four, five, everybody in the car so come on let's ride.....

To the liquor store around the corner.

The boys say they want some gin and juice but I really don't wanna.

Beerbust like I had last week.

I must stay deep 'cause talk is cheap.

I like Angela, Pamela, Sandra and Rita.

And as I continue, you know they're getting sweeter.

So what can I do? I really beg you my Lord.

To me flirting is just like a sport.

Anything fly, it's all good let me dump it.

Please set it in the trumpet.


A little bit of Monica in my life,

A little bit of Erica by my side.

A little bit of Rita's all I need,

A little bit of Tina's all I see.

A little bit of Sandra in the sun,

A little bit of Mary all night long.

A little bit of Jessica here I am,

A little bit of you makes me your man!!!!!!!!

Zombo number five.


Jump up and down and move it all around.

Shake your head to the sound, put your hands on the ground.

Take one step left and one step right.

One to the front and one to the side.

Clap your hands once and clap your hands twice

And if it look like this then you're doing it right.


A little bit of Monica in my life,

A little bit of Erica by my side.

A little bit of Rita's all I need,

A little bit of Tina's all I see.

A little bit of Sandra in the sun,

A little bit of Mary all night long.

A little bit of Jessica here I am,

A little bit of you makes me your man!!!!!!!!

Bridge


Trumpet, the trumpet.

Zombo number five, ha, ha, ha.

A little bit of Monica in my life,

A little bit of Erica by my side.

A little bit of Rita's all I need,

A little bit of Tina's all I see.

A little bit of Sandra in the sun,

A little bit of Mary all night long.

A little bit of Jessica here I am,

A little bit of you makes me your man!!!!!!!!


I do all to fall in love with a girl like you.

Cause you can't run and you can't hide.

You and me gonna touch the sky.

Zombo number five
