ESPN.com created a lot of chatter on Twitter on Tuesday after the company experienced a high profile web site defacement, showing colorful ponies and unicorns bouncing from one end of the screen to another.

It's not work of an art, but the defacement occurred on the sports news web site where the Cornify script was invoked by a Javascript using keystokes known as the Konami code, according to Praetorian Prefect post.

"For those who have not played Contra in a while, the Konami code is up,up,down,down,left,right,left,right,b,a,enter (it used to be good for 30 lives among other things in popular video game titles, such as Contra or Life Force)," the article said.

"Cornify, as the web site implies, provides unicorns and rainbows on demand, essentially appending pictures of unicorns to div tags randomly around the web page."

Visitors to the website got their headlines in hot pink and the Comic Sans font--enough adorable to make any 10-year-old girl forget about Hannah Montana, according to CNET.

There is a lot of speculations among the reports about how the script appeared on the ESPN web site, but it managed to gain some viral promotion from it.

The sports news site managed to keep the "magic show" short as it terminated the script within 40 minutes after it started around 4:00 pm EST on Monday.
