Time for another installation of "Crimes Against Web Standards" I think. Were we annoying much? Clever, but so annoying. Not to mention this is such an insult to #A11Y and the holy grail that has become the title element. But it's funny. And I'm laughing. #HTML

<body> <blink> <marquee> <h1> Hello world! </h1> <p> Does this page grab your attention? I bet it does! It’s just amazing how much you can do to really capture those 1995 eyeballs! </p> </marquee> </blink> </body>
