Fox begins Viral Campaign for Dollhouse.
... and Fringe and Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. To be honest, we only know it's related to Dollhouse because of Future on Fox's tags, but that's probably at least part of the game.
I've already got my application in and dug up the puzzle solution and sent that in. Haven't had time to read the whole blog yet. I was never interested in stuff like The Lost Experience, but this is an ARG for a Whedon show! How cool is that?

And Tamara, Dollhouse is one of the tags.
ETA: Er, not one of my tags, one of FoF's tags

I think it's a gentle nod to say that some sort of online interactive experience will be coming soon and that particular entry on the Fox blog is giving an example of what it will be like.
But of course I could be just saying that. For all the posters know Whedonesque was set up 6 years purely as an online game for Dollhouse. Wait till January 11th 2009.
Nah. Though I did check the Holomove site and from a quick perusal it didn't seem to have anything to do with Dollhouse. But it will be interesting to see the fandom cope with an interactive online game thing.

I can see how it's related; I saw the Dollhouse tag and the Truest Souls link, but I still don't get its point.
Ugh, off to document mileage over the past 4 months for reimbursement purposes. *grumble*

*bows before Simon, that most Meta of Metas and Mindf**k of Mindf**ks.*
Wow, very paranoia-inducing.
; >
Maybe Simon is also actually Caroline, zeitgeist, SoddingNancyTribe, Herb, and Milo?
Or maybe Joss Whedon doesn't really exist per se? Maybe Gail Berman invented him as part of a viral marketing campaign for BtVS? But... but I met him! So what does that mean? He seemed real enough to me.
Maybe I don't exist! Or maybe I'm just a viral marketing campaign to recruit (or repel) fandom?!!? What is it all about? What's happening?!? What is reality? Ahhhhhhhhhh!
*stares at hand for several hours without blinking.*
See, this is one of the things I don't like about viral marketing. It blurs the line for those of us whose grasp is tenuous enough as it is.

We should just speak the truth and do good deeds. So it doesn't matter who it's for. For instance, we could just build or repair houses for people who need them.
You think I'm ever gonna stop?

Just me then?
Hmm.

I just spent TWO HOURS reading all of Nate Bozeman's blogs, and, while I enjoy this idea of cryptic messages, my eyes are crossed from the blurring of reality and fiction. And no direct ties with Dollhouse, that I know of.
There was a video of Dr. Gough explaining his methods of pursuing science at whatever the cost, and that got me thinking back to the tags on FOX (Dollhouse & Terminator). Here me out:
Dr. Gough goes on about pushing the limits/threshold on society and how something that once was impossible becomes possible because he goes out there and proves it possible. Now, they're very vague on what projects they focus on. Who's to say that the company that creates Terminator and the company that makes the Dolls are under this umbrella corporation? That they're all linked together in some sort of mass conspiracy of science that has ever rocked the planet?
Like I said, my eyes hurt.
But, whether or not that theory proves true, I like the concept of tieing different shows in together without the audience knowing (unless they figure it out from the virals) until the series finale. Like a spin-off if the stories and plots never really had anything in common except the end result... which would prove they were always tied in together.
Thoughts on this?

Being a .com means nothing. I own tons of .com domains, for example.
@theonetruebix | May 23, 23:23 CET
May I ask where you found those two sites?
Because I found something on one of them just now...
*is slightly suspicious of onetruebix*
ProgGrrl | May 23, 23:35 CET
Adelle sent me email from her domain. It read, simply: "Take Southlandlabs.com offline for now whilst we redesign."
I am uninvolved in whatever this is (except, obviously, in the sense that someone whose identity I do not know sent me said email out of nowhere, presumably hoping I would then mention it somewhere).

I don't see anything on the source on the other page. Maybe I'm missing something.

I have seen that before, that was really annoying, because it happened all the time and no one knew when something was real or not.

Can someone just do the work for me? This takes too much time out of a normal person's life. I, you know, am not normal, but there are people out there who are normal and expect me to behave in accordance to.
