[TRAILHEAD?] - Potential Panic at the Disco ARG You Don't Have to Worry Details are sparse so this could just be a flash-in-the-pan viral hat-tip, but according to VH1.com Panic! at the Disco might be the next big band to launch an ARG.
Panic! Article @ VH1
When I say MIGHT, I mean that in the strongest possible way, as all the "ARGish" content so far is stuff hidden in the source code and a game of hangman. Nothing really there yet, but hey. VH1 said it could be associated, and who am I to argue with anything Viacom after they gave me NBC On Demand?

I bought their limited edition box last year, and loved the little details inside. I'm fascinated by these boys!
p.s., there is a 2nd image on that page.

I see http://panicatthedisco.com/images/ohidontknow9.gif in the css.
Which is an image of a clock set to 9 0'clock.
What do you mean when you mention "21"?
ETA: Doh! 21 hundred hours.
Can't find any "Nine In The Afternoon" type links or anything, though.

You Dont Have To Worry??? The word on the street is that the sentance is:
You Dont Have To Worry.
It looks like this could be their new album title.

that's pretty cool. I hope it turns into an ARG though! That'd be sort of amazing

I just figured it out! ;]
After typing in http://www.panicatthedisco.com/style.css
The CSS indicates that there are two images.
Quote:
body {
margin:0;
padding:0 0px 0 0px;
border:0;
height:100%;
overflow-y:auto;
background-color:#FFFFFF);}
#nothingtoseehere {
margin:2008px 0 2000px 0px;
display:block;
width:784px;
height:36px;
background:url(images/ohidontknow2.gif);
}
#thisisjustadivid {
display:block;
top:0px;
left:0px;
width:784px;
height:36px;
position:fixed;
background:url(images/ohidontknow1.gif);}
* html #thisisjustadivid {position:absolute;}
Which gives us:
http://www.panicatthedisco.com/images/ohidontknow1.gif
http://www.panicatthedisco.com/images/ohidontknow2.gif
After aligning them in photoshop we get this:
So yeah.. now all the speculations of being that have just been proved. =]

Then they have recently changed the css file because a few days ago the ohidontknow2.gif was not in there instead it said ohidontknow9.gif. which was a clock showing 9:00

Please, let this no be a Panic at the Disco! ARG, if it were anything else, I would care, but not this, because I really hate Panic at the Disco! b/c they are a lame emo band from somewhere I don't give a damn about.
