Kit Kat's homepage is currently a parody of Android announcement page

Kit Kat's homepage is currently a monstrosity. Scrolling down the page pushes a new history URL every half page, using the back button is then essentially broken (on Firefox at least) and actually getting back to the page that unfortunately sent you there requires something like 20 clicks.

Not so bad joke otherwise, but the history hijacking made it a crappy experience and I couldn't close the tab quickly enough.

Looks like Android has done it too: http://www.android.com/kitkat/

KitKat is the actual name of the next version of Android (4.4). HN discussion here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6321940

Thanks for the heads-up. I really can't keep up with HN!

The site is beautifully written using the latest HTML10 standard.

Could this be some sort of cross-promotion? The Android page shows actual KitKat bars, logo and all.

Edit: Spoke too soon. Looks like it is!
