From that point I knew I had to find out the story be hind this photo. I looked at the url of the picture, and traced back to the original site. Picture after picture of the cutest rabb it I had ever seen. And many with various objects balanced on his head, also known as "Head performance" by his owner. I spent the next 3 hours going completely through every single picture on the site, reading every caption and comment and saving them all to my c omputer. I checked back every week waiting hopefully for each new instal lment too. I checked the counter on the site, and I was suprised at how very few vis itors there had been to the site, about 2000 by my first count. It was t hen I realised this was an untouched website, probably only visited regu larly by the owner and his friends in its 4 years on the net. I decided then to keep the site a secret, and I did for the next few months.
It was my favourite pic ture, and despite my friends asking where I got it, I would not tell the m I wanted Oolong to remain a secret. Then one time I made the mistake of linking directly to the url of the picture at Oolongs website. From there the url was sent around, and people found out about the main s ite, and all the pictures. A few people posted links to Oolongs site on some message boards, and from there it exploded.
It made me feel sad, and I felt somehow I had caused the peaceful little world of Oolong to become an object of mockery among the internet commu nity. I still feel that way to some extent, however I have chosen to cre ate this area of my site as a tribute to Oolong.
Oolong Species: Oryctolagus cuniculus (Domestic Rabbit) Age: 7 Birthday: July 28 Sex: Male Location: Hokkaido, Japan. Owner: Hironori Akutagawa Origins of Name: Oolong is a kind of tea. So how did Oolong's owner discover his rabbits unique ability for "Head P erformance"? Well from what I can tell on the 24th of May 1999, Oolong b alanced his first object on his head.
Before you enter, please do n ot go to make fun or laugh at Oolong, and please do not write Oolong's o wner with accusations of cruelty. You can find more inform ation on Oolong's website below but i'd rather not talk about it because it's too depressing.
