Deff could be, domain is owned by fox and site is run on fox servers. Weird part is that one of the blogs on the fox server is running an ad through google adsense for snakes on a cane. Its costing them money to run ads on themselves and that makes me laugh, wtg fox!

Interesting find, thanks.

The House website http://www.fox.com/house/ shows a different countdown leading to August 17th, but IMDB confirms that the season premiere is indeed the date that snakesonacane.com is counting to.

Well, the name is a homage to the Snakes on a Plane film, while at the same time being a play on words for a Caduceus.

Although a lot of speculation, I started searching for more info on the web yesterday and came acros a thread somewhere (don't remember where or I'd post the link) where someone claimed to have seen a 5 second preview of season 6 for House immediately followed by the snakesonacane ad.

snakesonacane definitely registered to Fox. Caduceus with House's cane seems like a no brainer.

FYI, I've posted an article about the site, linking to a video someone was able to get of the commercial. Not that it's anything special Smile
