 ==Etymology==
 According to Steven Lerner, the name is an intentional oxymoron; by definition, a black sheep cannot be an albino because it quite obviously possesses skin pigmentation. He also points out that "black sheep" can also be interpreted as "outcast" and that the site's title could be interpreted to refer to an albino outcast.<ref>[http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/text/meaning The Meaning] of the title.</ref>

	==~~History~~==		===History===
	The website ~~was registered on January 4~~, ~~1999 by Steven Lerner~~, the ~~website promotes his band~~ of the ~~same name~~. ~~In 2000~~, ~~Steven redesigned~~ the ~~website~~. ~~This layout included graphic~~ images and ~~a video stream from his video camera~~. ~~It is~~ also ~~known as a major portal for Flash animation (a Flash animation style created by Neil Cicierega~~ in ~~2001)~~. ~~The game: Musical Lantern can be found on his site.~~		''Albino Blacksheep'' is a website that was established in 1999 by Steven Lerner. Initially, the website was created as a personal platform to share his own creations, such as animations and games, with the online community. However, as the website gained popularity, it expanded its scope to become a platform for other artists and creators to showcase their work as well. In the early 2000s, ''Albino Blacksheep'' was known for hosting some of the earliest and most well-known flash animations on the internet. The site became a center for viral videos and animations. Despite its success, ''Albino Blacksheep'' encountered some legal challenges in the mid-2000s. Certain content hosted on the website was copyrighted, which resulted in takedown notices and legal threats. To address the issue, Lerner began removing copyrighted content and focused more on original content and user submissions.

	~~Additionally,~~ the ~~band~~'s ~~website helped~~ [[~~Wikipedia:Tally Hall\|Tally Hall~~]] ~~gain popularity after the release of their [https://www~~.~~youtube~~.~~com/watch?v=yModCU1OVHY Banana Man~~]~~. music video~~.

	~~On April 1, 2007~~, the website ~~later became~~ a ~~prank landing page~~, ~~was bought by~~ the ~~company: "Google"~~ and ~~turned into "Google Animations"~~. ~~The joke was compounded by a fake blog stating that "~~''Albino Blacksheep ~~has been acquired by Google Inc.~~ for ~~roughly $32 million in stock options~~. The ~~deal was discussed over~~ a ~~casual breakfast in Mountain View~~, ~~California between the Canadian-born founder of~~ Albino Blacksheep ~~and~~ the ~~Google co~~-~~founders and CEO~~. ~~Plans are underway for Google Inc. to tie its services and software into~~ the ~~former Albino Blacksheep~~ website which ~~will go by~~ the ~~new name [http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/archive/aprilfools2007 Google Animation]~~.~~''"~~

	In March 2020, the site changed the logo of the same sheep wearing a face mask in wake of the [[wikipedia:COVID-19 pandemic\|COVID-19 pandemic]], but later changed it back.
