From the source of that site:

<meta name="Keywords" content="September, 2nd, 2009, The End" /
<meta name="Description" content="Get Ready."
Also, at least 3 twitter accounts seem to be involved:

EDIT: Um, seems this might all be a prank or something, though: http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/08/02/4chan-users-attempt-to-incite-mass-fear-succeed-only-in-creating-really-tidy-block-list/

"#sept2nd" is used on twitter to distinguish posts about a subject. so, obviously, they want you to talk on twitter.

Hmm, the video that (^__^) posted is in response to "untitled" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UiZbn6Tk5pg
And under "Related Videos" for untitled, there's actually multiple "9/02/09" (or some variant of that) videos.

I'm gonna pull one out of the 4chan playbook and say this ARG is shopped. You can tell by the pixels. I've seen a lot of 'shops in my time.
But seriously, it's just a bunch of /b/tards trying to start a panic, more than likely. Not sure about the validity of this video, but check this out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DoPplbmfaA4

it is true that a bunch of crap is started in 4chan, but i also do know by experience that ARG viral websites do end up being commented on in there.
after a carefull look at the stuff said above i say it isnt an actuall ARG. but what they know as a Raid.

Looks like something from Project Chanology, Considering that it came from 4chan.
Compare: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JCbKv9yiLiQ
Although any one could use the same voice sim-thing

If I remember correctly, it's all a hoax started by a bunch of /b/tards who wish to use this as some sort of "social experiment" so to speak. An experiment to see how people react when they are told a specific date and there is something special about said date.
I could be totally off, but that's what I remember reading someone post a little less than a week ago on /b/.

I do go there as a matter of fact. And all they are saying is abou 9/2/09. Nothing specific. Not with chanology. Not their MO.
