Erm just one thing to add, the date at the top of the faux-BBC site is 1st April... April fools anyone?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ok, so, 1st off i'm very new, saw the article in PCGamer a while back, had a look around but nothing more than just looking around, i've done nothing since then. But then i got this e-mail

From : Oph�lie Cl�ment <artophel12@hotmail.fr>
Sent : 07 May 2005 18:39:30
To : slipknot_aliSPLAThotmail.com
Subject : Coucou !

Coucou Ali !
Comment vas tu ?
Moi sa ne vas pas il faut que l'on discute de nous deux et de l'autre fille !
Reconnecte toi le + vite possible sur msn ou repond moi,
Tu compte enorm�men a mes yeux moi je nais qu'une seule chose a te dire " JE T'AIME MON AMOUR " C seulemen ce que G a te dire !
Bref
Bisous
Oph�lie ki TM

which becomes (mostly)

Cuckoo Ali! How are you? Me its do not go it is necessary that one discusses of us two and other girl! Reconnecte you it + quickly possible on msn or answers me, You counts enorm?en has my eyes me I am born that only one thing has to say you "I LOVE You MY LOVE" C seulemen what G has to say you! Short Kisses Oph?ie ki TM

Now, ok, the lack of viagra etc offers got me to translate it, and then upon reading it i thought. well, i thought "Er". i have no idea about the address, plus the translation seems odd, so i thought of you guys!

oh yeah, i've replied to the e-mail, just basically saying...what? erm, say again in english?....or at least so it makes sense?

Two things.

1) I didn't spot the date on my Zombie thing - but I was certain it wasn't that on the previous version. I shall check (it's pinnedup on my flatmates door), when I scan it.
That is to say, i didnt think it was april the first - maybe I was just being blind. I don't recall the BBC ever doing April fools though... especially not stuff that is so disturbing? Then changing the picture? (Pic is to follow b.t.w.)

2) That french translation is... well... crap. I assume you used the translation thing on the site? I know a little french, so perhaps I can order it a little better, since machines generally fail. Here goes:

(Coucou = colloquial for hi, i think) Ali! How are you? (something like) It won't be necessary to discuss us two and the other girl!
Get back in touch as fast as possible on msn or reply to me (to the email)
You mean a lot to me (in my eyes), I was born only to tell you "I love you", (C sounds like c'est, meaning its) its only what G has to say to you.
(Dunno about Bref)
Kisses, Ophelie.

I think you just got a wrong number there dude. Unless it's a particularly tame ARG about misguided french girls, or possibly threesomes Laughing

lol, yeah, i know online translators suck, but, well, they are still better at french than me! Very Happy

ho hum, still seems odd though, with no advertising for enlargement, or any other crap, especially since i've never recieved a wrong address email before.......oh well. we'll see what happens.

cheers for a proper translation though

It's not a perfect translation, I know that much - but I'm seeing a rather nice french girl soon and I'll get a PROPER proper translation. Stupid context-sensitive French words.

Oh, and I looked at the 'original' version of the zombie story. It's dated April 25th. Spooky.

Picture not scanned yet as a) I'm lazy, b) I'm swamped in university work c) I've been ill, d) I had band practice today and e) I'm going out tonight. In no particular order Very Happy

Zombie ARG - The Dream Is Over

Ok - I'm 110% positive that this isn't a trailhead, but as I don't know what it is, I'm looking for advice (that and it's so bizarre someone might get a laugh).

I figure this has to be one of the following:
a: spam virus
b: wrong recipient (there is another person here with the same first name as me)
c: someone is trying to tell me something

Thoughts? Comments? Revenge scenerios?
