Has anyone looked at the store? its on zazzle, so I'm sure there's no html playing around, but you can join a fan club for their store on zazzle, maybe this is how they could possibly get ahold of you, anyone willing to try?

ARG Hallmark
Check it

I am a farily new ARG-onaut, I was in I Love Bees 2, Azoth, and Oni-net.org. I missed Iris, but I am back now.

Check out the future copyright date at the bottom of the page. 2057.

Also sinister corporation stuff:

Quote:
All acquired customer information becomes the property of the Buy n Large corporation and can be used (but is not limited to) any venture the Buy n Large Corporation deems beneficial to it. By visiting Buy n Large (or a Buy n Large partner) the user agrees to relinquish (if requested) any personal assets that may be deemed "usable" by the Buy n Large Corporation; this includes (but is not limited to) real estate, stock holdings, user transportation, employment income and the users "soul" (either real or imagined, regardless of spiritual or religious affiliation).


Disney had the assets to make this a really involved, cool ARG.

Also I bought from Amazon "As Simple as Snow". Hope that plays out.

BnL is a creepy sounding company that's trying to get a monopoly on society; not just consumer goods. The more you read the site the weirder it gets.

[EDIT] to add robots and functions.

    robots : at site launch
  • SALL•E - Vaccubot
  • GAR•E - yardbot
  • NANC•E - nannybot
  • WEND•E - washbot

Fan Club

I'm in, I've already signed up for the "Fan Club".

It'll be interesting since I'm going to see the movie anyway.

It's part of their store at zazzle.com.

You got to create an account and then sign up for the fan club.

Okay, thanks.

It's so awesome they've finally got the store up and running! I was literally going to get on and order a Slusho! shirt tomorrow, but this is much cooler.

np

This stuff is pretty funny.

I'm still wondering if people will be able to join the "Corporate Street team".

That would be pretty awesome. But I gotta admit, I'm still reading through all of the stories on the site. The scale of it is amazing!

In the video game adaptation of the current Pixar moneymaker Ratatouille (see it, it's awesome), there's an unlockable video set in the WALL-E continuity- not set up as a teaser trailer- that acts as an advertisement for a line of robots manufactured by a corporation called "BuyNLarge." This video can be seen here


Pixar killed the video on YouTube. Is there anywhere else to see it?

Yeah! Just search for "WALL-E TRAILER" on YouTube and you'll get a couple of results... that's if they haven't killed those too. Shocked xD

I thought the video in the Ratatouille game, and the official teaser were different. The teaser doesn't mention anything of BnL.

[EDIT] to add link to YouTube

I found this promo video for the WALL•E units on YouTube
