And the site is filled with children and stacks of money and happyness. Screw the people against ARG's.

From the phone message:

It is a vision of mindless decay
These ads are trying to eat our children's brains
These ARG advertisers will do anything
In the future the toilet. Will. Analyze. The urine.
Brian Cain has bottomless values

Apparently the TARP ARG has a Leading Puppetmaster Team, including Brian Cain, Brian Clark, Dee Cook, Steve Peters, and Lance Weiler. Emotive Manipulation Administrator? Tween Narrative Development? Targeted Audience Personality Outreach? Sounds like a standard ARG spec to me.

And in case it wasn't clear, both sites ARE related. (don't worry about it being a bunch of nutcases, both sites have the same IP address)

(Wait, what am I saying? You have to be a nutcase to be a PM in the first place. Razz
