#152 closed defect (WONTFIX)

Nicer error pages

Description

The error pages are dull, off-the-rack affairs; their appearance
isn't consistent with Mediagoblin's otherwise lush visual theme and
as Caleb Davis points out, they miss an opportunity to convey
Mediagoblin's sense of whimsy and humor to users it has recently
disappointed. He suggests something akin to Reddit's
`you broke reddit <http://www.chaaps.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/reddit.png>`_
page. Other examples of amusing(?) error pages include
`tumblr's tumbeasts <http://5.mshcdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/tumbeasts.jpg>`_
and the
`Twitter Fail Whale <http://tctechcrunch.files.wordpress.com/2010/01/fail-whale.png>`_,
neither of which any of us has ever seen because we use free
software only ever.

This is a duplicate of Issue `#420 </issues/420>`_, but you
provided some useful examples, so I quoted them
