"Nothing Changes" has been mentioned. That's the one I was talking about in my first post in this thread. Trout

 Hidden Palms
Mystery solved

On TV.com the description for hidden palms alludes to something creepy in the neighbourhood, so I wouldn't be terribly shocked that the ads are hype for the show. see the description below:

Johnny Miller was a happy, well-adjusted 15-year-old with good grades and a roomful of sports trophies until the terrible night his father committed suicide. Now, one year later, Johnny lives in the surreal, sun-drenched city of Palm Springs with his mother and her new husband. On the outside, Palm Springs is a shimmering paradise of resorts, swimming pools, golf courses and country clubs. But as Johnny learns the secrets that lie just beneath the surface of this seemingly typical neighborhood, he and his family are forced to ask the question: how well do you really know the people who live right next door?

So... mystery solved, it is an ad camp for that show, but what are the Johnny numbers all about?

I'm only half following this thread...you can't honestly tell me I'm the first one to notice that the website changed?

Well anyway, there's your confirmation. It's definitely for Hidden Palms.

John (in the Bible) does have 21 chapters, so in this case 21:16 could be a Bible reference:
Quote:
Again Jesus said, "Simon son of John, do you truly love me?"
He answered, "Yes, Lord, you know that I love you."
Jesus said, "Take care of my sheep."


And I saw a new ad (during Search for the Next Pussycat Doll). at least, it hasn't been mentioned yet. It had some of the creepy footage, a weird mask/clown/demon guy, and the text "people come here to die." If the numbers are indeed a Bible reference, it sort of makes sense if the people coming to die are like sheep -- or Johnny is like a shepherd/savior. I dunno.

Johnny is also the name of the main character in Hidden Palms - Johnny Miller (played by Taylor Handley of 'The OC' fame). Perhaps he is the shepard and the Palms residents are the sheep?

Baaaah.



(also, the fact that you made that text really small amused the hell out of me.)

The CW has aired 5 different promos now. They are for their new series Hidden Palms, which premieres Wednesday, May 30 at 8 PM/7 C. They have also posted some of the ads on the 08nova.com website.

I don't think the text refers to any specific Scripture, I think they just want you to think so.

For more on Hidden Palms, visit geocities.com/hiddenpalmscw07

I hope I helped!

Posting from Wii, so please excuse shortness.

08nova.com has updated w/ 5 new vids and 2 links, both of which seem OOG. (The Palm Springs city site seemed IG at first, but there's just too much material for it to be fake... Plus, it links to all these other Palm Springs sites--they are endless. Definitely not IG. Besides that, Palm Springs is a real place, anyways.)

For anybody wondering what happened to this:

The site is now online as the show has launched. Basically, the site consists of a message board for discussion, and four character blogs. It's not really an ARG or even an extended reality, but it'll give fans of the show something to do in-between episodes.

Case closed.
