Hahaha, this is daft... Let's have an internet site and then prohibit people to hyperlink to it... Ok, sue me then, I dare you, I double dare you :).

The site of Sellotape will never become as sticky as its product, or perhaps it is the best guerilla marketing trick, blog style, in years :)
There recently was a similar "incident" with FastCompany, take a look at http://www.boingboing.net/2004/06/26/fastcompanys_terribl.html
And while you're at it, I'm "not too proud" of this one either: http://www.google.com/search?q=%22het+maken+van+een+hyperlink+naar+de+Website+niet+toegestaan

(Let's hope this fuckup from a high profile site like athens2004.com will get the 'linking-policy'-thing over & done with.)
