Jeb Bush campaign site hides an inexplicable easter egg: An exhaustive summary of the Die Hard franchise
Yippee ki-yay, Mr. Bush? Until recently, as spotted by The New York Times' Jeremy Bowers, the HTML source code for Jeb Bush's official campaign website contained an unusual easter egg: an exhaustive (and generally accurate) summary of all five movies in the Die Hard franchise.
The text has since been scrubbed from the website, but you can read it all in Bowers' screengrab:
If you ignore the essential weirdness of a Die Hard-themed easter egg on a major presidential candidate's website, you'll get some pretty solid insights on the franchise. In some cases, the Jeb Bush campaign site's summary actually improves on the original movies. A Good Day to Die Hard: Please God Let This Franchise Die is a much more fitting title for the fifth movie.
