If you have a website, and you're using CSS, *remove it* today!

"The idea behind this event is to promote Web Standards. Plain and 
simple. This includes proper use of (x)html, semantic markup, a good 
hierarchy structure, and of course, a good 'ol play on words. It's time 
to show off your <body>."

"On April 9th, simply remove all CSS from your website, stripping it 
entirely of its design."

  I fail to understand how removing CSS promotes web standards.

Those with table layouts and <font> won't notice the difference removing 
whatever little CSS they have.

If your site is *impossible* to navigate if CSS is turned off (or if 
navigating with lynx ;) ), shows you're doing it wrong.

In theory, you should be able to replace someone else's CSS with your 
own and still be able to use the site.  E.g., for printing, screen 
reading, etc. If your site breaks horribly when you take out the CSS, 
it's like a document that becomes unreadable if it's all in the same font.

(Which I guess some math textbooks would fall under...) :-)

Woah... I was thinking about CounterStrike: Source, the FPS computer 
game. And, uh, naked would be... a whole new world of uglyness!

31337!

In this Internet age, silly little insider jokes seem to somehow 
magically transform into global phenominons. I think we need a little 
more sanity in this world. ;-)

Maybe Brazillian culture is significantly different to British culture? 
All I know is that in Britain, naked people == extremely bad idea! :-S

(NSFW unless you work in a strip club, but then these were extremely public 
events)

Well Streakers may possibly be described as exhibitionists and they
love their bodies. I still agree with Andrew because the vast majority
of Brits I've seen nude in public would put you off seeing :)
