[TRAILHEAD?] Bizarre YouTube message
Speak in silence.

Sorry I haven't posted in a long while, guys.

I'm listening to Gary Numan when this appears:

Quote:
Press you hand on the glass of your heart. Does it bleed? can we ICE the cold? AMybe you and them are on terms which do not allow you to enter my world.

I've got a ticket of limited offer given me. The vanishing hue is unlocking prematurely what was designated for someone else a favour. What do we do to slow the lock?

Could colours blend into sound? Could a smell enter foreigners into our world?

Does my name kill your world? Does my dream smash your Alters?!


Speak in silence.


It wasn't a PM, it was a comment to this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0WNbm1jz6A&feature=related

The user who posted it seems nothing out of the ordinary (ABBA videos and the like), but then again, ARGs ARE designed to look ordinary.

Note the misspellings in the comment. Feel free to trout if this is just random poetry spam.[/url]

I said it was a comment, not the video itself.

do you notice all the missing letters? Perhaps it's a code that spells out a website?

"You have tried to send a message to SAT9terminus. This person has enabled friend lock. You will not be able to send messages to them unless they add you as a friend."


It seems like we cannot message this person.

I remain unconvinced...

If you google the username (it's pretty unusual) then you will get numerous results of the user posting comments on various videos. The style is similar to the YouTube comment as seen here (CAUTION POP-UP) so I'm fairly confident it's the same person.

The u in colour threw me as the YouTube account says that the user lives in NY and LA but, looking over the various results from google, it seems as though English is not the user's first language - or they type hurriedly.

I don't know. A lot of the results I went through were within the last few months so it's conceivable that the ARG has started and no-one has noticed. On the other hand the user does appear to be a little... odd and I can't see how the comments that have been made would point to anything larger.

Journalists for human rights is a legitimate organisation based in Canada from what I can tell. Though the speaksilence website is a GoDaddy registered domain, the WhoIs info on the Journalists For Human Rights official website can be seen here so I don't think that the speaksilence site is fictional.

It is. I've seen posters at my university with that slogan for that campaign. I'm at Wilfred Laurier University in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada
