Fine print on the http://www.therivardproject.com site on the page that comes up after you type in your email information has a copyright and link to another web site:
http://www.brand-attitude.com
I don't have the time right now to translate from French, but I'm thinking this may be viral for a product.
The confirmation page also takes you away from http://www.therivardproject.com and has a URL of:
http://kaluun.free.fr/ok.htm
Which leads to http://www.kaluun.com
It's a rock band from France.

Seems interesting... I registered, not sure how cool it might be if it turns out to be a viral for some rock band... I'll give it a chance though.

Update. An Update from The Rivard Project via Email, if of course you've been accepted.
Basically you click the link it takes you to www.therivardproject.com
And the title says:
Quote:
They're going to kill the President... You have to help me!
Fill out the rest of the application form; once that's done it'll say.
Quote:
Merci de vous être enregistré.Le projet Rivard revient vers vous dans quelques heures.
Thanks for registering. The Rivard Project will get back to you in a few hours.

It sounds like
Girl : "They're gonna...."
Guy : "What??"
Girl : "....They're gonna kill the President"
I'm just wondering how you got this Isaac? I registered after recieving an email from them yesterday and still haven't gotten anything.

Yeah anything given to us in French is usually just the French translation.
I'm assuming it's people whom speak English/French playing.
