Not all numbers that begin with 555 are fictional—for example, 555-1212 is one of the standard numbers for directory assistance throughout the United States and Canada. In fact, only 555-0100 through 555-0199 are now specifically reserved for fictional use, with the other numbers having been released for actual assignment. How exactly this will intersect with the many uses of 555-2368 (one of the more commonly used fake numbers)[1] by AT&T and other telephone companies, remains unknown.
Area code 555 in the North American Numbering Plan is reserved for Directory Assistance applications.

Actually only the number set 555-1000 to 555-1999 are set aside for use as fake numbers.

The rest of the 555-XXXX set ARE available for use as real numbers, they just are not commonly used as such

 		Still, I would find it unbelievable that this number, used in such a manner for entertainment purposes, is anything other than a fake to populate the business card. Shifty Eyes

The Google syndicated ads at the bottom of the page are kind of disillusioning.

Seems like someone's trying to break J.J. Abrams' record for "longest time from campaign start to movie".

Ehhhh Google results are leading me to believe this is 4chan related (http://www.godlikeproductions.com/forum1/message1151292/pg1) which would diminish my interest considerably

 		I got a friend request from Daniel Schreber a while ago. (I tend to let those sit a while).

Unfortunately, this Daniel Schreber doesn't look anything like Kiefer:

Ok... maybe just a little.

meta: looks like this is from the same ppl as the murcheson guide

 		Great Big Jerk
Received a PM on the boards
I received a PM to my account here on the boards as follows:-

From:000000000
Subject:2-12-6 26-9-22 19-26-15-15-12-4.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xh5FEnhfRgU


I haven't got time to have a proper look at this at the moment, but I will do this evening. The link leads to some video called Great Big Jerk.

EDIT - Ok. I've had a chance to watch the video in full now. The wierdness starts around 2:31. Some wierd posession thing going on. I'm going to try and extract the video as it sounds like that snippet of audio is being played backwards.

The video itself is for a site called Great Big Jerk, which seems to be broken at the moment. From the source, there is another video linked:-

It looks kind of creepy. The other video isn't though, more of a comedy thing. Maybe there's something in it, but it's over 20 minutes long and I didn't have time to watch it all.

I noticed there's another video posted on the Youtube account:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VdBKVAb0ab0

Shows off a box with nothing in it but has numbers written on it: 24-12-13-21-22-8-8

Some code or something. There's also some cuts to other stuff in the woods and the word help on a sign.

 		There is a tumblr account that was left in a comment on his website, that seems to be connected; same sequence of numbers left in the title on the comment.

http://itisallempty.tumblr.com/

Not much there now except some vague ominous statements, but, worth watching if this turns into something interesting.

EDIT: More stuff has come out. Made an actual thread for this.
