*edit* it records the site you came from so just go to it from google, and not this site. That is why I put spaces. Just in case it is a cyber terror strike I would not want a large amount of traffic recorded from us.

No one knows what it is, but the countdown ends tonight

There is an investigation here

also

Some believe it may be one of the first massive cyberterrorist attacks online. Who knows, I doubt it is nothing but an ad, or a hoax.

I just thought we could use a little mystery on the board.

I made a YTMND about it too.

Terrorists generally don't give you any warning, so I doubt that's it. It's probably hype for some movie or something. A publicity stunt - Blair Witch or War of the Worlds revisited...

Guess they got too much publicity.  Hah.  ****ing attention ws.  I bet it's another Anti-Smoking campaign like the 'DEBUNKIFY' billboards I've been seeing everywhere.  At first that was all they said, now they say "Kill the myths before they kill you."  If you go to thier site, it's got a countdown as well.
