I Have No Idea What It Says, But This Website Owns

producten.hema.nl — Well all I got from this is that "Hema" is selling stuff...and that I'm way too clumsy.

  • emobrat, on 11/09/2007, -3/+64Whoa.. didn't expect to see that at all, the confetti bit at the end was way cool.
  • MikeonTV, on 11/07/2007, -25/+4I've seen other websites like this. There always foreign.
  • Herostratus, on 11/08/2007, -2/+46Its dutch. It says a lot of typical ***** that you would find on a legit site but it appears that this isnt a real page, just designed to look like one thats gone crazy. Awesome all the same.
    • jus1haz2, on 11/06/2007, -0/+6the last sign says "the products from HEMA you will find now also on hema.nl"
    • qtipju, on 11/07/2007, -0/+20Radio is ghettoblaster in dutch?
      • saifatlast, on 11/06/2007, -0/+4Could well be, in German I believe ghettoblaster tends to refer to a portable stereo thingy, and German and Dutch are very similar.
      • 2shae, on 11/06/2007, -0/+3I NEVER say ghettoblaster and I don't think anyone here in The Netherlands does.
        • Tiak, on 11/07/2007, -0/+1You should start, I'm going to... (in English)
    • qpn6ph9q, on 11/07/2007, -0/+9The HEMA (pronounced HAYMAH) is like a funky Dutch version of K-Mart.
      • Audacitor, on 11/08/2007, -0/+15Except with really awesome web designers.
      • lithera, on 11/06/2007, -1/+1You can leave the "funky" part out too, mostly grannies and milfs shopping there ;p
    • coolmos, on 11/07/2007, -0/+2What's even funnier: HEMA is an abbreviation of 'Hollandse Eenheidsprijzen Maatschappij Amsterdam', which roughly translates to Dutch Standardpricing Company Amsterdam.
      They sure came a long way from that.
    • Herostratos, on 11/06/2007, -3/+3Cool name dude.

      Although it wouldn't hurt if you'd stop using it so I could continue feeling unique... Oh well.
      • Herostratus, on 11/07/2007, -1/+3Right on man but I think I might have had it first. Anyhow I have it spelled right at least.
        • Herostratos, on 11/07/2007, -0/+1It is a translation from ancient greek. There is more than one way of translating stuff from ancient greek - in Norway we translate it into "herostratos".
  • CLShortFuse, on 11/08/2007, -2/+66Freaking genius! The autoscrolling is what blew me away.
    • rhinopig, on 11/07/2007, -0/+14I thought the most amazing thing was that apparently 'toaster' in dutch is 'broodrooster'
      • botvis, on 11/07/2007, -0/+14Brood = Bread
        Rooster = Grill
        Just to quell the idea we use farmbirds to prepare our toast ;)
      • preisler, on 11/07/2007, -0/+5Bread roaster
      • Cenobite, on 11/07/2007, -0/+6Toaster is 'broodrooster', but toast is 'roosterbrood'. How convenient :)
      • marnaq, on 11/06/2007, -1/+2Brödrost!
        • boyasunder, on 11/07/2007, -0/+2I ***** loved that band in the 80s.
      • pault107, on 11/07/2007, -0/+3I lived in Holland for five years and picked up some of the language. They have some funny words, my favrourite is their word for gloves - handschoenen, which translates as hand shoes :-)
    • andywebb95, on 11/07/2007, -0/+1Agreed, I loved the autoscroll concept!
      Looks like used external calls from Flash to Javascript functions (you can see the functions in the source) to accomplish this.

        • JcbAzPx, on 11/06/2007, -8/+3Ooh, nonsense contest. I was never really very good at these; too many penalties for being in context.
          • kholburn, on 11/08/2007, -1/+10Further down the page is a "stating the bleeding obvious" contest. Perhaps that'd be better for you.

    • GliTCH82, on 11/07/2007, -2/+5I think I saw some leg, but it didn't really do it for me. =(
    • Defuser, on 11/06/2007, -4/+2Dear 12-year-old dumbass scumbag: if you're incapable of finding nude photos on the internet, you're as stupid as you are classless and pathetic.
      • Immune, on 11/06/2007, -0/+4Just because he made an immature comment doesn't mean you have to flame him.
  • paulringo, on 11/06/2007, -11/+8Run that gem through a web validator...
    • eighties, on 11/07/2007, -2/+13Not that bad: http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fpro ...

      The errors it does have (6) can be corrected in seconds.
    • ruddy, on 11/07/2007, -3/+27its cuz of sick ***** like you i have to validate my code! i though my boss was joking when he said people check that *****...

        • kingkilr, on 11/06/2007, -0/+7Invalid XHTML/HTML only encourages MS to not give a ***** about proper rendering.
      • lithera, on 11/07/2007, -2/+1If you'd knew your stuff you would have to use the validator only to check if you made a typo somewhere, not to check if you did a good job..
  • DannySpace, on 11/06/2007, -6/+1SENSORY OVERLOAD (while sober even...)
  • PopularNerd123, on 11/06/2007, -13/+1That made me jizz on the keyboard

    • billybibbit, on 11/07/2007, -1/+2wow, i spent a year living in utrecht a block away from a hema. i must say dutch department stores are vastly superior to anything the US has to offer
  • zachshmack, on 11/08/2007, -0/+17That's one mighty fine broodrooster.
  • anw13, on 11/08/2007, -19/+1what the ***** is this s**t?

    • p3ngwin, on 11/06/2007, -2/+1about 30 seconds loading here, maybe don't bitch about the website and get a better connection yourself?
    • 1town, on 11/06/2007, -0/+4I have a thick-ass cable and it's taking forever here too. Maybe STFU about getting a better connection?
      • Koldkompress, on 11/07/2007, -2/+5thats your problem, you have thick cable? Get the athletic cable, it runs faster.

    :( I tried.
  • mottsky, on 11/08/2007, -2/+11I bought some batteries... but they weren't included... so I had to buy them again...
  • unfuckwithable, on 11/08/2007, -0/+6HEMA is the Dutch answer to Target. If the thing will load, I can try and translate.
  • sdlee, on 11/08/2007, -0/+3This is fantastic.

    Kinda like that Honda advertisement that was out a while ago.
  • Kanidia, on 11/08/2007, -0/+3Wow, I really hope the digg effect doesn't kill this... I have no idea how much I just downloaded, but it's a lot.
  • genepooldesign, on 11/08/2007, -1/+4Really really better be worth the wait.
  • Zybergod, on 11/08/2007, -7/+461: Create strange, viral website
    2: Get Dugg
    3: Watch Digg bring your website to it's KNEES
    4: PROFIT!
  • mllawso, on 11/08/2007, -0/+33Dugg for "ghettoblaster"
  • unfuckwithable, on 11/06/2007, -1/+0Okay, I deciphered it. HEMA is finally offering an online store, first of it's kind for the Netherlands. Still nothing more than Target.com or Walmart.com. The sign says "You can also find HEMA's products on hema.nl"

    • killercow, on 11/06/2007, -0/+6First of its kind for the Netherlands?

      Are you naive? its the first Hema shop, not the first webshop here, we got thousands of webshops, and at least a dozen really big ones like this one.
    • GliTCH82, on 11/06/2007, -0/+1Congratulations! You're only the 27th person so far to solve the puzzle! Click *here* to claim your prize.
      • Koldkompress, on 11/06/2007, -0/+2Commenting system broke your link. =(
  • WolverineBlue, on 11/09/2007, -0/+15I now have a strange desire to install an earthquake machine under a Walmart to see this happen again.
  • radikul, on 11/06/2007, -3/+1It was a joke people.
  • AxaliaN, on 11/06/2007, -8/+4I feel shameful for being a dutch webdesigner :(

    Ever heard of compressing your stuff, Hema? 2 minutes of loading time for a webshop is in no way acceptable xD
  • Web6, on 11/06/2007, -4/+2Hallo jonges en meisjes,
    Ik ben nederlands :P
    Please don't mind my english.

    I hear people say that dutch internet is yet to evolve to web 2.0, but this is not true. And this hema website is actualy a bad example. Dispite HEMA sels very cheap products of low qwality the website is not bad but not great either.
    • ThyLabyrinth, on 11/06/2007, -0/+4Dude, most HEMA articles are actually very good value and their return policy is iron-clad. HEMA isn't some thrift store like Wibra and Zeeman.
    • 1nhuman, on 11/06/2007, -0/+1HEMA rules man. Good stuff cheap. And since I life in Belgium now (where they have HEMA ass well), a good way to get Dutch candy.
  • Retuow, on 11/08/2007, -0/+6Well worth the wait! This is AWESOME! :D
  • froggiestone, on 11/07/2007, -5/+4hmm well pretty creative, but i still don't like flash for websites, and the design is.. well, kinda cheap looking..
    • mobilitatis, on 11/07/2007, -2/+4Try to do this with AJAX and them give me a call when you are finish... In 5 ***** Years!
  • ydt89, on 11/08/2007, -2/+2that was pretty exciting :D Way awesome, loaded fast as well.
  • OropheR, on 11/08/2007, -0/+2My wife goes there once a week...
  • Arturion, on 11/08/2007, -0/+18well, I've put a temporary mirror up for it: www.arturion.net/hemamirror/

    I'll watch as my bandwidth limit dies, but it should load a bit faster for those on this side of the Atlantic.
    • oneofus, on 11/06/2007, -1/+1Thanks, Arturion! Your server seems to be handling it, loaded in an instant!
  • DiggMasterJ, on 11/09/2007, -7/+26Loading... 12%.. 24%..40%... please be porn, please be porn, please be porn... 90%.. This is gonna be some good ass porn... Dh'o.
  • adrastus1, on 11/08/2007, -2/+0nice :P
  • Julolidine, on 11/06/2007, -3/+1It doesn't really say anything except the names of the items.
  • papashawn, on 11/08/2007, -0/+4Where else can you buy a ghettoblaster for 23.95?
  • sandeepbalaji, on 11/06/2007, -2/+0Really nice site!!! And a very wacky and appealing message. Reminded me about the Honda ad i saw sometime back.....And the color combinations used are spot on in the white background....Cheers
  • JenadaeXX, on 11/08/2007, -1/+3I just wanted a new blender :(
  • maarten, on 11/08/2007, -0/+4Hema is a shop where you can buy stuff (duh) but the point is that for the first time they have their whole collection and pricing online. This site was made to announce that!

    YAY!
    • speedwank, on 11/06/2007, -0/+1juh pcs!! Eindelijk!

      Behold the Power of Cheese!
  • unruled, on 11/08/2007, -0/+3dutch..
    hema is some random store where you can get some products cheaply..
  • centran, on 11/08/2007, -1/+5I am not sure what it says or what they are selling. All I know is I want two!
  • DestroyFascism, on 11/06/2007, -1/+1Love it....
