In addition, on aladygma.com, when you hit the white space, the numbers change - everybody knows that by now. But notice the pattern of how the numbers change. The last "2" in the third portion swaps with the first "8" of the fourth. If we use that same pattern to switch the last "1" with the first "2", we get 00 | 12 | 12 | 88. December 12th, 2008 falls on a Friday, which is a logical opening for a film.


Interestingly that image which was posted has, according to one video an alien face in it, also the background of the aglad vids have some alien soldier in the background(well i think so).

Whats coming out on decmber the 12? The day the earth stood still remake, so i think this is a viral for that(cashing in on cloverfield.)

That looks like a cow billboard with its head smashed off. But the whole image is weird itslef.


Indeed. That is one of the most well-known ads in spanish roads: the Osborne billboard, a giant black bull now part of the landscape Razz
Here is a link to the wiki, but the text is in spanish. You can see some photos of the real ones there:

 		Even though I'm pretty sure the videos are completely unrelated to aladygma.com, and the Cloverfield ARG/E, I can't stand staring at a puzle and not trying to figure it out.

On the youtube account profile, theres one word: "herameretore" and I'm thinking anagram. Havn't figured it out though, because I'm not particularly good at these...

 		Yes, you can call me exlax if you like, haha!

Looks OOG to me guys, sadly, but what's with "big buffet Fridays"? It looked like an ad campaign but there's nothing there for it to advertise...

This is all very strange.

 		hey guys - just read this thread and I was also a bit excited about the whole "aladygma"-thing - BUT I think it's a big fake.
The whole campaign is too much "cloverfeld"-like to me - why should J.J. Abrams promote his new movie nearly exactly like "Cloverfield"? Doesn't make sense to me...

Another thing: aladygma.com is hosted by a german guy called Michael Schwarz who also is very(!) interested in programming and internet stuff...
I googled him and he's got a blog which can bee seen here: http://meingottundmeinewelt.de/ (in german)

I 'm from Germany and I read his blog a little bit - nothing special, a simple and ordinary blog about politics, word press and internet stuff. he's definitely NOT related to a movie company or media marketing agency or something and he's also NOT a new figure in a new puzzle. I think, Michael Schwarz is nothing but a copycat or free rider.

Maybe there is a little viral campaign for something - but aladygma.com has really nothing to do with it...

Exactly my gut feeling after looking up www.aladygma.com in whois. Someone should check if hes a member on this site.

 		Yuppers Very Happy

Took a gander at Mr Schwarz 'Bloggosphäre' about advertising on little known websites and Google etc ... I am thinking this may be one of his experiments...

Yes! he often talks in his blog-entries about new certain "secret projects", made by him with different homepage softwares and scripts... very interesting...

Michael Schwarz is living near to Frankfurt/Main in a small little jerkwater town called "Ortenberg" - maybe he was a bit bored and tried to create a cloverfield-clone!? Laughing
