 		[NEW][COMMERCIAL] Mittlewerk
So there was a new hanso commercial tonight during lost, dont think there was much to learn from it, but you never know.
Quote:
Spirited debate, it's the cornerstone of our philosophy at the Hanso Foundation. We're reaching out to a better tomorrow, and that means listening to our critics, even those who would log unfounded claims in the darkness. We are confident in our mission. Which is why we invite you to talk about us, discuss our accomplishments and continued progress.
We are here for you. Thank you, and namaste.

 		Damn you scorpy you beat me by about two minutes Laughing

I'll repost what I had in my thread:

From Tonight's re-run airing for "23rd Psalm" in the US, here is Mr.Mittelwerk himself on the latest Hanso advert. Commercial caps courtesy of LHorse007.

And the 50meg raw commercial file (requires windows media player 10):

No website was given with this commercial, and no change has taken place to the thehansofoundation.org website yet.

Note: Mittelwerk is walking with a pronounced limp.

 		Mittlewerk said "Which is why we invite you to talk about us" - a reference to http://www.hansoexposed.com/ ?

Seems unlikely they would name a site thus, but potentially they want to see what we know, keep us under control?

Maybe the login and password are hidden in the ad? - Spirited debate?

That site is no longer coming up for me. All I get is the THF shutdown site.

 		Two things that stand out to me; One, the "talk about us" comment. It really seemed like some kind of instructions to me, but I have no idea where to go with that. And two, the 'Presented by ABC, Inc.' tag.

I agree. "Talk about us" seems like an instruction – but for what reason? I like the idea that he may be alluding to Hanso Exposed, the newest twist on watching people who are against them.

Or, perhaps it is ABC's way of trying to keep us involved. What with Rachel's recent prolonged disappearance and untrustworthiness (and perhaps I am getting META, sorry about that) a few followers may have chosen to stop playing the game. Perhaps they are trying to fan the flames of interest by giving us more live-action contact (i.e. they don't want the experience to fail).

Or, even more intriguingly....perhaps this indicates the new phase? A more interactive one? In which "spirited debate" and involvement are key to fight against them?

And in terms of the second issue, the "Presented by ABC, Inc.", I think that the fiction/reality blur must be kept to a minimum when using commercials as a medium for the show – otherwise a viewer, flipping through the channels, might catch the commercial and think that Mittlewerk and the Hanso Foundation are real.

The first Hanso Foundation commercial (the one from the website) always noted that it was paid for by ABC. This one did so more prominently, but probably for the same reason as before.

Also, did everyone see that Mittelwerk commercial? The first couple of words cut off for me, anyone have a full version for YoutTube?
the first words are spirited debate.
