Wow, nice!

A very nice, professional looking site. An address that looks real, and NO disclaimer anywhere that I can see at first glance. It even has an active toll-free number, boys and girls. Smile

You can leave your name and number.

They're almost getting it.....

The closest thing I can find to a disclaimer is quite cute and located in the left margin of the "Links/Learn" page. The word "hoax" being an underlind link to the movie site

This is just excellent! Smile

A promotional website being mistaken for real, resulting in outrage and petitions being signed!! You can't pay for this kind of publicity! They took the bait, hook, line and sinker.

Props to the Lions Gate or whomever decided to go with this. Now if they'd only realize they only hit the tip of the iceberg.

Check out this article. They're comparing this to the War of the Worlds radio broadcast. I love it! Very Happy

If it ISN't and ARG, it sure begins to look like one! one of the newspaper article links to SFGuide has some VERY interesting Google ads which make cloning appear commonplace. The CNN ad is quite old and the Yahoo news artilce isnt there yet, possibly still ready to go online?

I'ts bind moggling!

AND to add to the fun, the other links seem quite involved, with cloning activists and other cloning sites as if it was a commonplace thing.

Methinks that its an ARG set for when the movie releases, if it isnt already online. I tried to email, hope it doesnt bounce back like the LAST time....

unless they did the sites and the ARG got aborted. Seem to be too many sites up for it NOT to be aborted, though...

The movie has been and gone, we barely noticed it. Never a quiver of more web content than already noted.

Too bad. I had signed into a message board on their humancloning.com site. Was hoping they would have a full aRG in place. I had left email, and one of the phone contacts points to a real answering machine. Too bad they didnt take it farther, that would have been soooo very sweet.... (sighs in disappointment)
