So I just opened my gmail, which I obviously havent done in a while, and found the original email from the 9th. Guess I should do some reading...

Site changed again. Now its all white, only the countdown and the ads are still there, plus a picture of some sort (looks like some sort of concert/ralley, people giving peace signs). Interlink Standby is gone. No Music.
EDIT: Just hit refresh, now there is music. I don't know how to post it though, someone else will have to do that...

Looks kind of like people lined up against a runway - linking it back to the fashion show... Also on the side of the picture it is labeled as "1"...

In pic #1 some appear to be holding up two fingers, maybe taking an oath and a second pic has just been added, labeled #2.
Photoshopped abit it appears to show some sort of armed engagement.

Hmmmm, this is reminding me strongly of the Cloverfield site with the pictures...except you can't move these around, and there's music (If I wait 10 minutes, will I hear roaring?! LOL)

I'd say the pictures show resistance or speaking out against a power. I believe thats been a running theme here...

Here you go, along with original versions of the photos. Has anyone gotten any picture ad except for 'Flock'? Just wondering if it might become relevant at some point. Anyone use this thing?

The flock ad is outside of the flash, and seems to be part of the google ads delivery - in earlier versions there were other graphic banners as well...

There's a third picture up now as well...what country is that flag from??
ETA: Never mind, found it. It's the flag of the Russian Federation.
Also pancito, thanks for more of the awesome music! *adds to iTunes*

The pictures look kinda old, possibly dating back to Cold War? Just 5 more days til we find out...

Salsaman, my take is that the pics are bit more recent as The Hammer and Sickle flag was the Soviet Union's flag which "fell apart on the 26th of December 1991".
Pic #1 is reminding me of a propaganda poster with the Russian Federation flag muted in the center. Also hoping for something major at the countdown's finale.

Yes, of course, but they can't be that much new. What I meant was that perhaps they were taken a few days after the fall of Berlin's Wall? That's my guess. Otherwise, it could be a national celebration for something, but I doubt it, since there are tanks...

Actually, military parades are common over there, most recent (that I could find) was on May 9th this year...

Site changed yet again. Pics are still there, but the background is red now and the music changed.
