Hmm... Yes. Yes, I see it. Oh, that is clever. Right, now to translate.
B...e...s... Yes, I'm getting it! O... v...
Yes, I have it! The secret message!
BESURETODRINKYOUROVALTINE.
Now, the spaces, and we get...
A crummy commercial? Son of a-!
The one with Legolas I can almost understand since it's so common, but that other one...Kill it. With fire. And Princess Celestia.
Wait.
WAIT.
Is that... Morse code? Oh, Tawaki, you evil genius. Let's see... T...H...I...S...I...S...
...
...
Hrm.
Well, I can't say I expected that revelation. Seventeen? Are you sure? It seems like quite a lot. Though I suppose - no pun intended - you'd know, wouldn't you?
Huh. No, really, I never would have guessed. How did you slip that one past us all? Hah, hark at me - as if 'us all' were the only people you'd kept it hidden from...

I just see the URL with APRIL-FOOLS in it. Morse code where?
Reeeeeeeally close. Zoom in as far as you can on your browser, take a screenshot, put it into a graphics program and keep zooming. It's hidden right down in the pixels. You might have to lean in right up close to the screen. It's really very impressive - he must have created a custom font just to get it in there.
Oh, and if you don't see anything, you're probably looking at the wrong letter. I forget which one it was - a vowel, I think? Better check all of them.

It's spelled Uruk-hai! With two Us! And naming a horse "Airborne" just should not be a thing! Please, someone spork this! On a good note, the second badfic link is broken for me. Thank god.
