And please, before kicking my ass out of here, let me explain:
Hot chick, hot guy, hot Tahmoh, wow_cameo! hot chick, hot chair, punch, ouch, kicks!
I am totally aware that the Season is far more into the Dollhouse misteries and the darkests corners of them, but the ads lack all about it. I don't find useful neither smart offering non-fandom watchers something the show is not to offer actually. There are lots of hundreds of shows cancelled exactly because of fake, confusing promotions.
Can you imagine a BSG promo just with Tricia Helfer in lingerie?

Also, I've been refreshing io9 for ages now and have yet to come across the ad either.

Doubt it's official.

Really? Is it worse than Accidentally On Purpose? Cause that is godawful.

Wasn't that basically the first hour of the miniseries?

It's possible they mismatched earlier and I didn't notice the one oddity in the bunch. But I don't think so.

But here's a wrong TONIGHT one from a minute ago - on the home page.
Oy.

I have a theory though, Fox is screwing up the promotion on purpose because they figure if people talk about the bad promotion for Dollhouse, they will turn into Dollhouse to see what the weird fuss is about. Yeah, that's it.
gets weird looks from other members
That's my theory, I'm sticking to it.

In-house communication screws up all the time at workplaces w/ more than, say, one employee, and Fox may have exactly zilch to do with it.

Do we know/assume that all Dollhouse ad assets come ready-made in final form? We generally have to make our own to fit different site specs. I'm asking - I don't know how this is done, nor how much design control Fox would maintain on banners & such.
Probably a lot - but it seems to me unlikely that they provide assets in all shapes & sizes. If some at IO9 put any of 'em together, that's another opportunity for mistakes/miscommunications.
I'm just saying.

I often check a site's meta tags - it can tell a lot about them - how they're positioning themselves, their targeted demo, their cheese factor, etc., etc.
Not to be a huge pain in the butt, but WHEDONesque's meta tags/names could use a little bit of a buff-and-wax:
Joss Whedon, Serenity, Firefly, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel the Series, Ripper, Fray, weblog, blog
I am, however, very fond of this lil' bit of code.

Was a little disappointed when it got pushed forward. Aside from The Office, was nothing new for me this week (oh and the third episode of Glee, haven't watched that yet), plus all the summer shows are done now (True Blood and Hung concluded on Sunday...Entourage is still going, but this season is mostly meh).

There are still people on Twitter right now thinking it's on tonight.
I also choose to believe it starts tonight. And that it was brilliant (except there weren't as many guns as the marketing lead me to believe. Also, who were all those other people in the dollhouse ? Relatively few of them appeared on the desktop wallpapers and consequently I found their presence disconcerting).

Re. wisengrund's link - it's going to be surreal and poignant and very cool to see Tahmoh and Jamie Bamber together, on a Joss show.
It may trigger some sort of mystical convergence or tear in the time/space continuum. Maybe we'll find out that a third of humanity are actives and another third are Cylon.

Wasn't that basically the first hour of the miniseries?
No, it wasn't.
