It's worth a shot! If it does indeed have something to do with MTV, they should have plenty of money for shipping overseas.

If only I knew what a quid is....

Anyways: any updates of any sorts other than the message?

And when does the bin bag auction end?

 		Ive been having a look into the comic book series and the company who makes it, IMAGE Comics, and i didint realise but they have a section on their forum over there dedicated to Invincible Series.

See Here:
http://www.imagecomics.com/messageboard/viewforum.php?f=2&sid=6e9b01a0cdf87018c922382e684eefbd

And yet, it seems they have all been left out of the loop on this ARG, which i think is wierd considering they would be the fans of it that would appreciate this the most.

Edit1:

It would appear that the burger mart is a fast-food restraunt from the Invincible universe, where the super-hero teenager works, see here:

Quote:

Family Matters collects the first four issues of Robert Kirkman's ongoing series Invincible, the story of Mark Grayson, typical high-school senior, complete with not-so-great part time job at the local Burger Mart. But Mark is also the son of one of the world's most powerful super-heroes, Omni-Man, and his life becomes more complicated by the fact the he's beginning to inherit his Dad's abilities.


Taken from: http://www.comicbookgalaxy.com/012005_LP_review.html

As well,upstate university exists in the comic book, as according to wikipedia,

Quote:
Rick Sheridan: Mark and William's classmate at Upstate University, turned into one of the Reanimen.

Taken from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invincible_(comics)

Edit2:
Looks like science dog is part of it all as well: http://wya.deviantart.com/art/Invincible-VS-Science-dog-74559034?offset=10

Read this,
http://daveslongbox.blogspot.com/2008/06/comics-i-love-invincible.html
It explains the reason for the sky bag, and the reason why its been posted in the uk. - So by the looks of things, if its gonna be accurate, there is going to be trash in that bag when you buy it!

'Would be played by', not 'will be'. Methinks he's just got a crush on Laura Prepon, or sees some similarity between her and Atom Eve(?), and is fantasizing about a movie.
