 		Attack of the Show : Olivia Munn is dead
ARG, joke, SPAM, or real?

It has come down to us from her family that, unfortunately, Olivia Munn has died. We are looking into the cause of her death, as she was fatally injured on set. More news soon.

At this point, we intend on having a look alike stand in for her for the next couple of days. Please keep this news between just us. Thank you.

I doubt this is real given the "look alike" comment and the email address. Is this some ARGish promo for AotS or just very weird fanfic?

 		Well I replied and they to me.

We're not sure who exactly we can trust at this point. More news soon, we're working on getting her look alike ready.

There was a lot of blood, but it seemed almost purple.

Hey,

I've just got your email... Can I ask what exactly may have happened to cause her death? An injury someone may have been aware of?

Also, is there anything I can do to help at this particular point in time?

Don't worry I'll keep this silent. Get back to me ASAP,

-Leyton.


Sooo I replied once again.

Quote:
Purple blood...? Very strange.



So... You have the lookalike already? That's fast stuff!



Anything else I can do, let me know.



-Leyton.

 		Funny, AOTS was just on a whileago (Or maybe my dad was watching a recording. Either way...) Their lookalike is quite like the original Razz

I replied asking what happened. Let's see what I get.

HOW THE HELL ARE THESE PMS GETTING MY EMAIL? O_O I mean, I have nothing against it, but... It's creepy.

That's too bad. She was very hot. Is the look alike going to be as hot? Can you make me one too while you're at it?

 		Well I got the message too...

So I replied:

I am sorry to hear it!

Quick question...who are you?


And why is this information important to me?

Thanks!


And they replied:

We're the group of 5 people behind Attack of the Show. We assumed you had known Olivia before her... accident. We are sorry if this information came to you incorrectly, if we could please ask you to not reveal this until we are ready? Thank you.

And I replied:

Alright... but where did you get my e-mail address from that you would think I knew Olivia?

If this is true it is quite sad...

I am assuming you are not sure this was an accident?

Is foul play suspected?

And they just replied:

Well..

It's best that we don't discuss that yet. We're working on getting her look alike to act more like her.

We got your email from our people. I don't know why you'd be on here, but I could ask them.

And I replied:

Yes, please do I would like to know as I have never even heard of the show before...

Um... why is it that you are putting a look alike in her place instead of announcing her death?


***So now I am feeling like a bit of a freak - I mean I already think EVERYTHING is a game - is this getting out of hand? Or is it really a game?

 		Random Spec: X-Play had one or two "Top Ten [insert title here]" episodes in which Olivia dies. One of them, I think, was a parody of Saw.

Possibly related? I would love an ARG that's a saw parody.

 		I'd think / hope that this would be a real AOTS game, because yeah for one, paying on the death of a real person, especially for a commercial show without their permission... could end up ugly

Here's the reply I got:

I can't say much. The other four are very mad that I sent out this email. It seems my people have given me the emails to the wrong people.

Things will stay together fine if our lookalike does well enough. This is like that whole Paul McCartney thing from when I was a child!

Thank you for being a viewer!

 		Got a reply from them:

Quote:
More news on that soon. The lookalike is very good, but her hair is slightly darker.


I KNEW IT.

Replied with this:

Quote:
I thought there was something different about her. Voice sounds almost the same, though.

How come you guys got the news from her family? Which set did she die on? Any foul-play suspected (Especially from those bastards at X-play)?

Sorry for all the questions. But, as you can expect, this comes as something of a shock.


Damn you, Adam Sessler. Damn you for giving 3/5s to games I absolutely love Razz

EDIT: Yay. Quick reply:

Quote:
We sent her to the hospital after the attack, and her parents were there. They called us to let us know.

You could say there was foul play, yes.
