I got this b-day party coming up shortly for my little cousin, and he said he wants a clown.
A friend of mine recommended this site.

I don't know, what do you guys think?

*excited!!*

Can I ask a question.

Why The Hell. Is everybody so dam afraid of clowns. Seriously, what is so scary about them. And don't any of you say It because that movie wasn't scary at all. I laughed more at that clown when I was Six than anytime I went to the circus. What is wrong with people now

Perhaps I was being too coy, I was really leading this more into a Batman discussion, more specifically, the awesome viral marketing campaign that WB is taking towards it.
My cousin doesnt really want a clown, just to clarify.

its no joke, you remember the ibelieveinharveydenttoo.com thing. Then WB sent one up about a week ago just before Comic-Con called whysoserious.com. It featured a countdown and some map coordinates near the comic-con site asking for recruits in an exciting new career opportunities.
Everyone who showed up at the time and place got creepy clown makeup and was made to do a search around town where they got clues to the website that unlocked different things, presumably to get gear for (what I'm guessing is the Jokers street team. Putting up stickers and posters all over town.
Its a bloody brilliant idea, cheap to pull off...

just wanted to bump this up for others as I just found out (maybe i'm retarded, but I tend to miss whats right under my nose on these viral campaigns) that this leads to the teaser trailer, so maybe not everyone else knew as well.

Apparently it originally linked to a quiz, which if answered correctly unlocked the teaser below:

<h1>The Dark Knight - Teaser

becs, I've seen that same exact trailer before, but with entirely different audio. The one I heard had Bruce and Alfred talking, and Alfred saying something along the lines of "some individuals don't conform to rational behavior. they just want to cause as much harm as possible", with the same joker laugh that this new trailer had.... and does anybody else think Heath's voice (I'm guessing it's Heath?) sounds a bit like Jim Carrey's when he's talking at the beginning?

That trailer is a joke trailer by the way.
