Yesterday several sites revealed that ESPN had fallen victim to the Konami code (press up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, b, a, enter) and the result was something magical. On the home page after pressing the code, unicorns would start to fly across the screen in something fruity, yet beautiful. The font also all changed to comic sans to complete the experience. The more you tried to click out, the more unicorns appeared.

Update: The code has now been removed from most pages.
