History
Albino Blacksheep was founded in 1999 by Steven Lerner (also known as "Sners") to promote his band of the same name, which was started in 1996. In 2000, Lerner took a web design course and redesigned the website. This new incarnation contained rants, graphical images, and a video stream from Lerner's video camera. Perhaps Lerner's first famous work was in 2003, with his site's Google bomb for French military victories.[4] Since then the site has been growing in popularity, currently receiving about 1.5 million pageviews per day.[5] Year 1999 (MCMXCIX) was a common year starting on Friday (link will display full 1999 Gregorian calendar). ...

Albino Blacksheep is also famous for being a major animutation (a Flash animation style created by Neil Cicierega in 2001) portal, of which Bagadada Bop!, JamezBond, and Irrational Exuberance (Yatta) are the most popular. Most recently, The Fingertips Project, a collaborative animutation with multiple animators, has increased Albino Blacksheep's image as a showcase for animutation.[citation needed] The website also helped the band Tally Hall achieve some nobility after posting their music video Banana Man.[6] Colin Mochrie and other icons of Animutation perform Fingertips by They Might Be Giants in The Fingertips Project. ...

On April 1, 2007, Lerner changed the homepage to a joke homepage, designed to make people think that the site had been bought and turned into "Google Animations". The joke was reinforced by a fake blog stating that "Albino Blacksheep has been acquired by Google Inc. for roughly $32 million in stock options. The deal was discussed over a casual breakfast in Mountain View, California between the Canadian-born founder of Albino Blacksheep and the Google co-founders and CEO. Plans are underway for Google Inc. to tie its services and software into the former Albino Blacksheep website which will go by the new name Google Animation."
Name According to Steven Lerner, the creator of Albino Blacksheep, the name is an intentional oxymoron; by definition, a black sheep cannot be an albino because it quite obviously possesses skin pigmentation. The name also describes being an outcast or different with the term blacksheep. [7] Look up oxymoron in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. ...
