Like most ads designed to get people excited about programming, it has an EXTREME GRAPHIC of what some sample code would look like if you, the viewer, were on acid. That's okay, that's fine; these days such graphics are de rigueur if you want your job ad to be taken seriously.
But people? If you're gonna post sample code in your ad, at least post something genuinely interesting. Don't be like OkCupid. Don't use the same freaking Macromedia javascript code that's included in every single site ever created in Dreamweaver, code which by now is probably being included free with boxes of cereal. Just...don't do that. That ain't cool.
