"Last Measure" was the extremely popular and indisputably funny internet cartoon that swept the world September 2005. Last measure received over 9000 hits a day during the peak of its popularity, but the site was later removed from the internets, in a cruel blow against anyone who did not yet see it.

[edit] History of Last Measure
Last Measure was created Last Thursday ago by a pair of brothers who did not give their names, but went by the codenames of "timecop" and "Jesuitx". They hosted Last measure on a freewebs server for about a day, before a bored nerd found it, then slashdotted it. Traffic quadruplified, and the brothers were more then happy to upgrade to a real server to allow this many people to see their hilarious video.
G4 and MSNBC got hold of Last Measure, and both networks plugged the website at prime time. Again, more people than ever were flocking to see the hilarity of Last measure.
[edit] Demise of Last Measure
On September 30, 2005, United States Senator Rick Santorum, who is unfunny and has no sense of humor, said that Last measure was "a foul degradation of America's morals"; he then went on to say how serious the internet is supposed to be. Senator Santorum is certainly an offensiveist lulzkiller.
After Santorum's verbal ejaculation, Microsoft sued Last Measure, saying they infringed copyright and were using illegal bandwidth. The charges were blatantly false, but the brothers could not afford a lawyer who could defeat Bill Gates's team of robot prosecutors. They had to concede and take down the site.
In 2007 at some point, last measure got put into virus scanners and now instead of people seeing the nice site, their virus scanner comes up and blocks it saying it detects a virus.
[edit] MIRRORS OF LAST MEASURE!
Before the site was officially shut down, millions of bloggers copied the cartoon and hosted it on mirrored servers. Even Bill Gates, with his legions of hackers, couldn't take down all of them. timecop and JesuitX could rest in peace knowing their creation was still alive.
[edit] Last Measure Unified X
A version of Last Measure was created by Jmax in an attempt to merge lastmeasure version 3 and 4 and coffeemeasure. Along with the merging came new shit, such as LMX Live stats which tracks the amount of redirects a person gets resulting in a race for e-penis. Notable additions are the inclusion of more "Hey Everybody!" voice clips from various GNAA members and the addition of PDF ruin.
