This year the Elf Yourself website has been redesigned. There is a bit more of advertisement on the website but also additional content to make up for it. Don’t worry! There is still the classic elves dance for those who might have missed it last year or cannot get enough of it.

In addition though you can now see them dance Disco, Country or Charleston as well each with a unique stage and effects. The music is obviously also different on every stage.

The developers have added possibilities to download the videos to the desktop or post them on various social networking sites like MySpace or Facebook. Expect a huge increase in Elf Yourself appearances on those sites.

Buying Sealand looks more like a publicity stunt to me than a real en devour that would result in the creation of a country that would have no laws against piracy whatsoever. Everyone who would donate money to “the cause” will receive citizenship which leads to the question where they want to accommodate all their citizens if the purchase would indeed take place.

The initiators even think one step ahead. If they can’t collect enough money to buy Sealand they intend to buy a small island somewhere in this world. Here is a quote from the official piratebay blog.

“The price for Sealand is probably about $2.000.000.000. We don’t really care. We’re going for it anyhow! We really want to see what the community can do – with it’s own island. Since we are all for sharing the country would be shared amongst us all.”

What is your take on the matter ? Great idea or bogus one ?
