I know what you guys must be thinking by the time you get down to this post – did Leonardo DaVinci take a dump onto a canvas and have his friends slide around in it? Did someone leave a Picasso out in the sun? Did an XML turn itself inside out? Am I going color-blind?
The answer to all your questions – and MORE – is a resounding YES!
We here at the 4cr news desk have spent a number of long nights underneath a single lightbulb dangling from a ceiling cord wondering what exactly’s in the future for us. After long, empty nights away from our families and anime love pillows, it hit us –– well, rather, Edgar tripped over our studio’s monitor and kicked the colors out. We saw it. With our eyes. The future isn’t in corporate acquisitions or even in the venerable Web 2.0!
No, dear Rebels. The future of the web doesn’t lie with more colors – it’s less.
So, I introduce to you, the template for the future of the web: 3colorrebellion.com.
Enjoy the site! And hey, one last thing. You guys stay classy, okay? I love you all just the way you are.











ok, this is different and all…but y?…frankly my eyes, are kind of pissed off at all the pink and purples…

I’m assuming this is an early April fools joke? C’mon, you know I’m right.
Anyways guys, keep up the great work. Peace!
Matthew - 03.31.08 11:57 pm
What the hell? I kind of love it. Kind of.
mizzle - 03.31.08 11:59 pm
Happy April 1 to you too, guys.
Boots - 03.31.08 11:59 pm
I don’t expect you guys to get Web 0.5
Mitch - 04.01.08 12:00 am
Whatever, you guys are a *** site.
Michael Tucker - 04.01.08 12:02 am
only the elite get it. pff.
N Rumas - 04.01.08 12:03 am
Three colors are better than four IMHO.
Animagnum - 04.01.08 12:05 am
Web 0.5 aesthetic FTW.
Makes me want to go back to good ol’ Windows 3.1.
Benny - 04.01.08 12:06 am
*laughs* Well done.
GhaleonQ - 04.01.08 12:06 am
April Fool’s Day can go take a long walk off a short cliff.
Andrew - 04.01.08 12:08 am
If you put on 3D glasses, the site comes to life in rich, vivid, realistic detail.
Animagnum - 04.01.08 12:10 am
I want to add that the picture of Olimar on the front page looks really cool.
mizzle - 04.01.08 12:11 am
checking timestamps…
guess i need to give up websurfing tomorrow…
Wuss912 - 04.01.08 12:13 am
Wow, people are total suckers…
Happy April Fools, fellas
Andrew - 04.01.08 12:14 am
I always thought yellow was overrated. CMK 4 evar!
peshue - 04.01.08 12:22 am
It is a brilliant masterpiece…far better than Slashdot’s perrenial “OMG PONIES”.
9th Sage - 04.01.08 12:34 am
Oh you guys…
Blue_Falcon - 04.01.08 12:43 am
too easy. Announce Under the Knife 2 isn’t on dS anymore or something.
Watarai - 04.01.08 12:43 am
MY MND HAS BEEN BLOWN
MR_DNA - 04.01.08 12:48 am
A nice start - Quick suggestion that would make this funnier down the road, as part of something bigger… Next year, 2 Color Rebellion, in the obvious black and white, or, actually, the Green Game Boy classic look. Then, the next year? 1 Color Rebellion! A blank white page for 24 hours!
Go ahead, use that one. I’d LOL.
GMaster7 - 04.01.08 1:28 am
Magenta FTW.
Volt - 04.01.08 1:40 am
Personally, I like the new layout better.
DAMO SUZUKI - 04.01.08 1:43 am
I APPROVE
tom hanks - 04.01.08 1:45 am
You know what they say: Less is more!
Happy few-minutes-early-and-before-April’s Beginning!

Is April Fools Day over yet?

Am I supposed to see something at http://www.3colorrebellion.com?
I keep getting redirected to a web hosting site.

@Johnny
ROFL
crescentsaber - 04.01.08 3:45 am
I like it, it feels like my brain is melting.
SixFifty - 04.01.08 4:13 am
w00t April Fools!
Kyogre56 - 04.01.08 4:16 am
I never liked yellow anyway.
Jordan - 04.01.08 5:37 am
My eyes! They burn! aiieeeeee…

Having viewed the site on a web browser with images and cleared out the image cache, I now see the joke.
Sadly, I was reading this article this morning through a rss feed on my lynx browser. The whole image colour thing was lost on me
Johnny WashNGo - 04.01.08 7:44 am
AAAAAAAAAH! MY EYESS!!!!!

“I was reading this article this morning through a rss feed on my lynx browser.”
Damn, that is hardcore. Don’t be sad about it.
Gongonzabar Farbin - 04.01.08 9:02 am
Ha, this is awesome, yet another great job Mitch
My eyes _are_ bleeding though…
Arcanis - 04.01.08 10:02 am
Heh, I guess somebody registered 3colorrebellion. It didn’t exist when I checked at around midnight.
Volt - 04.01.08 10:08 am
The goggles! They do nothing!
Savage - 04.01.08 10:20 am
Full of win!
Josh Bujanda - 04.01.08 10:35 am
I HOPE IT STAYS THIS WAY FOREVER.
Twotapsyes - 04.01.08 12:11 pm
I don’t quite agree with TwoTapsYes that it should stay this way forever, but I do really like the magenta headlines more.
Jake - 04.01.08 12:58 pm
HAHAHAHAHA, i was totally fooled.
Right. This type of stuff is so trite. I love the website, but this stuff is beneath us all.
WraTH - 04.01.08 1:31 pm
Wrath, don’t be a cock :/
Arcanis - 04.01.08 2:25 pm
Wrath: I’m not responsible for your pure bohemian ignorance to the future.
Mitch - 04.01.08 2:43 pm
Excellent job!
Love the jpgs
John Clay Handley - 04.01.08 4:17 pm
Careful, t-mobile might sue you for all that magenta (see engadget.com if you don’t get it, like right now).
schtum - 04.01.08 7:43 pm
My friend was looking over my shoulder when I was browsing this site humbly let me know that “This site sucks man, there are way better blogs out there. Like Perez.” Wow.
Stuffed - 04.01.08 8:09 pm
A real man would go B&W only. But I guess everyone has to start their growth somewhere.
LittleOni - 04.01.08 8:09 pm
Epic as fvck
Wolfmaster - 04.01.08 8:21 pm
I pooped!
m0c0 - 04.01.08 9:05 pm
Why isn’t this a dot matrix site with stereo sound? >:U
AJ - 04.01.08 9:51 pm
May I suggest moving to 8 bit colors altogether? This would fit the theme, don’t you think?
Happy April 1st
