Is there some joke I'm missing, or... ?
Hiroshi Abe [1] is a Japanese actor whose official website is run by a fan. The site has a nostalgic look with a minimal design (40kB, images included) and is still actively maintained today.
Instead of ping 8.8.8.8, some will test their internet connection with Hiroshi Abe's homepage because of the speed. There are even challenges where people try to speedrun the site or conversely, make it load as slowly as possible [2].
