Magibon
Who is magibon/magichan/MRirian? What is this project? Who is Frank?

Natas said me about that creepy website http://www.magibon.com/
http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=482700#482700

It's "dedicated" to Magibon, a very weird, hypnotising (pseudo?)-Japanese girl, who does nothing but starring into the camera with her google-eyes.
http://www.youtube.com/user/MRirian

Well, magibon.com seems to be made by somebody named Frank, who, ehm, wants her explicitely.

Here is translation of Japanese (well, it isn't really correct Japanese):

Quote:
俺はフランク 
I'm Frank

エックスポートする
 to export, or exporting (hehe, that's wrong Japanese, the right were: エクスポートする)

マギボンが欲しいてす
I want Magibon

ええと
well

ほう一御待ち帰り
??? wait to come back (or something like that)

旨い
delicious

やらないか
let's do it (baby)


Natas analyzed the site (http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=482696#482696) and I checked the site of magibon.com-creator Joakim Danung: danung.com

That site is also creepy: it shows just one word "yaranaika" (let's do it baby) [sexually meaning]. But the source is much more creepy.

Well, is it an ARG? (A little bit long, since Magichan opened her YouTube account in February 2006)
Is Magichan new lonelygirl (well, not really new, already very good subscribed).

Is it stalker? (In that case let's forget this thread).

Your opinion, people?

danung.com used to be a blog
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:de:official&hs=RsM&q=+site:danung.com+danung.com
Look at the cache. But now it's demolished.

Perhaps is Danung not the creator of magobon.com, but just an virtual victim of vandalism of Frank?

I just end up at the 404 page too. And did the video at magibon.com always translate some of the words to English like it does now, I didn't notice that before but maybe I was just freaked out by the whole gas masked psycho thing.

I don't know what creeps me out more: the freaky little girl that looks like an anime character incarnate, or the raving pedophile psycho in the gas mask that wants her.

"MRirian" has been around for a while on YouTube; she's registered 02/26/2006 and has a truckload of videos going back a year, some of which have over a million views. But she has been particularly posty in the past few weeks.

Even though she says she's 21 (which I seriously doubt), I feel awkward watching it.

And, if you want to experience one big WTF, watch one of her earlier videos:

*EDIT*
This girl has a blog... in Japanese

appears the text is independent of the flash. If you stop the flash using the right click menu when text is onscreen it continues to flicker.

EDIT. Only appears to be certain phrases.


AND there seems to be a phrase that appears over her left shoulder on the first scene where she appears on the big screen. Trying to screen cap

last time we see the screen, just before the creepy backwards gasmask part, looks like a symbol in the top left of the big screen. Looks kinda like a dollar bill.

This just gets weirder and weirder the more you look at it. Half a million people watching a video of a girl saying and doing nothing for 30 seconds! In fact in half the videos she doesn't do or say anything! Plus in the video Nighthawk links to the girl who opens the fridge is not the same girl who sits in front of the camera.

In one of the videos she's reading, and she sounds like a six year old.

*EDIT*

She speaks... and I refuse to believe she's 21.

And in that video she is the one in the beginning, staring off in to space.

And some of the videos have apparently gotten over a million hits in a WEEK?!?
