http://puppyrecycling.com Anyone recognize this from anywhere? Anyone? Anyone? Knowing that I enjoy ARGs, and having a vague sense of what they are, a friend recently pointed me to http://puppyrecycling.com . It looks fun/strange/ARGish, but that's about as much as I can make of it. I thought it'd be a good idea to post it and let everyone else have a looksee.
Based on what I see on the Wayback Machine, it hasn't changed a whole lot (if at all?) since it was first put up more than two years ago. There are very few references to it on Google, except for those by link farmers. Registration is with GoDaddy and provides very little information, except a single name for the registrant (Benjamin Stein) that could very well be fake.

Oh, this is freaky. Count me in!
EDIT: This is odd.... it would seem that the client request link won't work. I emailed them saying I was interested in working for them.

Well, the last media update was in April 2005. I noticed they all take place from Bethesda Maryland. Also here is the basic history of the company: http://puppyrecycling.com/press/?presspage=facts

Either this is the most airtight ARG in the world or there's an actual puppy recycling plant there. The only clue's the email but even that comes up dead.
Umm... I'm new to ARGs but.... have we been trouted?

Wally the golden lab tied to old Lost Experience game? FWIW....okay my memory doesn't stretch back that far but what was the name of the golden lab from the early part of TLE? not that that exaplins this since its two years old and TLE was only last summer but the name jumped out at me and that was the first thing that jumped into my mind as a connection...

Whats up McGitts and Chronus_Valtiel
Well I believe FWIW means "for what its worth" and TLE is "The Lost Experience"
Weird site indeed. I want to be a puppy recycling entrepreneur so I sent an Email also asking about business opportunities.

Not a real business Hi all. I'm new to ARG's also.
I did a quick search on the Better Business Bureau and the Yellow Pages web sites and there is no Puppy Recycling Inc. This whole thing is very strange.
It might be worth some time to do some searches on the doctors and the journals they mention on the site. I would bet that the doctors are fake...along with everything else.
