yeah…. saw this on p4k… no idea what it is. suspect it’s some sort of new viral campaign, ARG.. or data mining? the page source doesn’t reveal anything interesting, either.

the whole “what is this mysterious thing” ad campaign has been overused and I find it boring. but in terms of MBV, even if you are getting some significant ad dollars for this (and I love this site and hope you profit from it), i still find it rather annoying that it is not identified as an advert.

oh, ok, like emily litella, nevermind (though I do hope you guys can monetize this site, or that it is at least driving traffic to your constituent sites that can then be monetized)

I heard it was all an elaborate plan to hypnotize you to buying ralph lauren polo shirts

Ryan Catbird says:
Thanks Dean… “monetization” certainly doesn’t trump “good/helpful/enjoyable content” around these parts.
also, Flexo, I wondered why I was feeling the urge to go out and buy a peach shirt, madras shorts and a pair of topsiders– that explains it!
