I've also been trying to crack the competition, although hadnt spotted using the password from the dvd as a subdomain. Hopefully there'll be more info soon. The bluffball site is apparently coming soon too. And friendface.co.uk gives the same image as the cuke.me site. I tried getting in touch with Graham Linehan via twitter purely to see if the competition is open yet, but no reply.
'The cake is a lie' is a reference to the puzzle video game Portal created by Valve, where a you are 'abducted' by the Aperture Science Laboratories as a guinea pig in their tests to create a gun that can shoot portals to get from one place to another. In the end you are supposed to be rewarded by cake, but instead they try to kill you. Also, the sentence 'the cake is a lie' is written a lot around the game.
This involves The IT Crowd by the t-shirt Roy is wearing in the episode 'From Hell' where he is trying to get a £20 note that is stuck on the outside of the building. The t-shirt shows a picture of a cake that is in the a same style of a picture of a cake from Portal.
From how 'the cake is a lie' is a connection to the competition, I don't know.
@Joe if you type http://anything.cuke.me it will come up with the same message. So it wasn't correct to use the password as the sub-domain anyway. Keep on trying guys.
Nice to be visiting your blog again, it has been months for me. Well this article that i've been waited for so long. I need this article to complete my assignment in the college, and it has same topic with your article. Thanks, great share. eggy
I know It's 2025, and you'll probably not even see this, but what happened with the competition, I was about 4 when it happened and I'm dying to know, hard to find things on websites that got shut down 1 year after the show released. did it never happen?
nothing yet i'm afraid. they'd better hurry!
