A few weeks ago I was flipping through my Entertainment Weekly when I noticed a strange ad. It said, "Will the Hanso Foundation get away with murder?" It went on about some hacker named Persephone and something called Spider Protocol and an ocean freighter labeled Quarantine. I was like, HEY, that's from LOST. What the krunk is all this. Down at the bottom of the ad was a website for www.insidethelostexperience.com. I've been meaning to check it out ever since but just never got around to it. Until this weekend. Now I'm hooked. All summer long the producers of Lost have been putting fake websites (Hanso Foundation, Apollo Candy, Retrievers of Truth) on the internet with obscure clues and links to corporate websites (Sprite, Jeep, Verizon) with hidden video clips, audio recordings, and weird photos. It's a big promotion to keep the rabid Lost fans interested in the backstory during the summer hiatus. And it's a huge endeavour. I can't believe the detail they've put into this.
LUCKILY, I waited so long in the game to get interested that all of the incredibly hard puzzles and clues have been solved so I just have to follow the "catch up" directions and I reap the benefits of all the netnerds' hard work. Thanks guys!!!
