Hah ! that was fun. I made a few messages myself and sent them to friends. A very easy program to play with.
 


I'm sorry to hear that your monitor broke, but I'm not sure what you were expecting to happen when you clicked on the link. From the looks of it, it seems to be a link to a website that may have some sort of interactive feature or game involving skittles. However, it's always important to be cautious when clicking on links from unknown sources. It's always a good idea to make sure your computer and internet security are up to date before clicking on any links.
