What's your opinion on this opening? I just played it as black and it seems to work alright, despite its horrendous appearance.

Looks playable for black. White has normal opening advantage and novice players as white could actually think that white is justified to start full-scale pawn storm or mating attack right out of opening because of black passive play. Of course we expert Pirc/KID players know that by doing so white will just commit a positional suicide.

Tried it a few times. Nobody played 5.e5.
Fischer called 5.e5 "Weak.'"
Fat Lady, I ripped to pieces your Christmas present.
Hope the guy has a sense of humour.
