Even unto the grave, still the little LEGOmen smile. [Flash]

Either it's not working, or the concept is that you'll die before the loader finishes loading

That is brilliant.

That is great. In wonderful contrast to the dead kitty floral arrangements.

Yet still continuing the same general theme.

Wicked. At the age of 10 I built a lego quillotine. It was a bit larger, but very functional. I executed my little sister's Barbie dolls with it. Quite cruel... :-) These Lego links are always funny.

I expected video.

So I guess I'm saying I'm disappointed I didn't get to see Lego men dying in full-motion, full-color, 24fps glory.

I'm going to seek therapy.

Elvis' death in LEGO form. Great!

A nice site although I question the need to use flash. Apart from coming up with something that had a bit of flashy animation, why couldn't have this been done in plain old HTML (and maybe a little bit of javascript for the views)?

I agree. Flash has a purpose, and this ain't it.

These remind me of the Calvin and Hobbes snowmen comics.

I swear I've seen this before, but nothing came up in the archive search, except for this comment on the Webby Award Nominations back in April (it's listed under Humor).

So are you going to let me off with a warning?

Much friendlier than the Lego Concentration Camp. The "Occupational Hazards" section really made me laugh (maybe because I don't have a real job).
