Hmm. Maybe it's just a contest? Literally none of these clues have required anything even remotely this difficult as far as like, solutions are concerned. Well, I mean, except maybe TIDOWave. (Unless you happen to be named greenbear. Or if it's even IG. Just kidding. Or am I? I am. Or?) I just mean, maybe all we're supposed to find as far as ARG-y stuff is concerned is just that Bold Futura exists and is located in Santa Monica. Maybe we should be worrying more about that. Is anyone near it, for example? Has anyone sent them mail lately?

And yes, I know that it was discussed before when the Slusho! trademark was found, but you know, maybe this is just JJ and co. (if that's even who is running this thing) confirming that we are in fact supposed to recognize that as a part of IG stuff for sure.

Am I being douche-y about this? I mean, I'm just trying to drum up some alternate ways of looking at this.

You can just download it. Or is that not an option where you're located? I could send it to you.

Problem is that its quicktime-movie. and naturaly the university don't want that spamware-supplier anywhere near its computersystem. (Linux and MS only here.)

Just had hoped somebody had uploaded the movie to youtube.

I'm pretty sure I saw it on youtube earlier when I was clicking around after it.

It might just be a contest, as FacianeA suggested a few posts back - but, I gotta think there's something hidden in all this craziness. Then again... I'm thinking specifically about the hammer, cheese, mitt references scattered throughout this thing. If those combine somehow to form a clue to a website somewhere that hasn't been found yet, then are we to assume that this has been sitting out there all this time, just waiting for us? So far, everything we've found was created shortly before it was found - it's hard to believe something really big has been sitting out there all this time, without them feeding us hints about it (if not just giving it away outright). Of course, it could also be the case that the hammer, cheese, mitten stuff in the original Slusho! page(s) was just to screw with us, but NOW it means something because NOW they actually have a site waiting for us.

I guess it's best to assume there's something there until we've exhausted all avenues; just as we should remain skeptical, but open-minded, of supposed 'new' stuff until its proven IG, so we should assume something like this commerical contains clues, until we've exhausted all ideas/possibilities. Or, at least until the movie comes out. Wink

What does that Hamlet reference mean? (A robot with the scull)

To Slusho or not to Slusho?

Well, he's holding the skull, which is when Hamlet says "Alas, poor Yorick!"

Yorick --> York --> New York Question

I can't believe I'm trying to analyze the meaning of a wig-wearing, skull-holding, animated Slusho flavor-bot. What has my life come to? Laughing

talk about over doing it with the happy nonsense....



I think they stressed it so that us cloverheads wouldn't just submit a bunch of monster/grumpypants-eque commercials with giant monster cups of Slusho! rampaging through new york.

I am sooo gonna make a video. Huzzah for friends with video editing and animation skillz!!

Slusho!! ZOOM!!!

Just wow... That little "I have a Cartoon boy's head drawn of my stomach" dance frightens me and makes me laugh as well

This is a strange turn

Is anybody else getting pissed off at how often the website is "Temporarily unavailable?"

Why are the 5 conditions labled 100,2,3,4,5 in roman numerals?
