that's not a 404 message. a 404 message means the page does not exist. that's not what the sign is saying.

This is a photoshop. Simple pixel distorts and block distorts can produce this effect. It's a good try though!

Hack into the base of the unit and hook up a video game console to it. :)

Hasn't anyone noticed that this isn't a 404? The browser is having trouble connecting to the site - a 404 indicates a missing page.
