HAHAHAHA, this is awesome. I love the little UK flag beret :D

Found it. All of these sites are built from one codebase over at Conde Nast UK, and it looks to me like someone left the debugger flag on when publishing things this morning. Doesn't look like a hack to me, it looks like something that's usually left out during the publishing process. If it is a hack, then someone has managed to compromise Conde Nast's codebase, which is bad news.

Just a guess though, from a 10-minute code review.

FYI, they're using Raptorize.

Bad news for Conde Nast, great news for lovers of raptors!

The raptors are an improvement for the sites, if anything.

It looks intentional to me, considering the Vogue code is slightly different and how it's calling specific images (or just one, in GQ's instance) from an array on the local server which follows their file architecture... but I could be wrong. :)

OMG I dont know why this is so amazing, but dammit, it is!

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but by typing in do they mean type it in a specific search box on the pages or something?

[redstar826]

use your arrow keys for the directions, then hit b, then keep hitting a to make more dinosaurs appear.

[akashasheiress]

Worked, thank you!

[squeeful]

Nope. Just go to the page and start typing keys.

I review the comments for Philosoraptor pics, and there are none. I am disappoint, _p.

Perhaps the Philosoraptor only appears when summoned?
