into amusing languages like hackers-speak or pig-latin.

I really admire the way Google has been able to grow as a company 
without losing sight of the culture and community they're a part of. 
Things like the above versions of their site may seem wasteful to your 
average MBA, but I promise you that they've generated far more brand 
awareness and equity than any banner or popunder ad ever has.
