That was in very bad taste. Maybe it is an ad. Maybe it is some kid having fun with a website. But I don't fine chain letters and chain web sites to be amusing.

Next time, resist the temptation to pass it on.

Thanks, now where am I supposed to get term life?

That's from the movie "The Ring".

If you haven't seen it, I *highly* recommend it. It's the best "scary movie" in a long time, in my opinion.

Hugh, meet Dave. Dave, meet Hugh.

You two can discuss the implications of what I posted.

Me, I'm just covering my bases. I've got money on the coin toss I plan to earn.

Actually, it's probably a promotion for the sequel to The Ring, which is supposed to come out sometime this year.

Yup, it's the sequel all right. There is a Dreamworks reference at the bottom of the screen, and if you follow the link mentioned on the site, you go to an alleged site of a person who is tracking the events of the days since she has seen "the tape". Sort of like all the self-generated web "hype" the film makers did before Blair Witch Project.

Apparently the cause of death will be boredom.

Even the banner at the top of the follow-on page says "Rings".

I watched it a second time but in reverse, so I should be ok, right?

Apparently, sarcasm is a lost art.

I'm a big fan of the original-- well, Amercian remake of the original-- Ring. I saw this little bit of viral marketing for the sequel, thought it was neat, and I made a joke.

A joke which obviously wasn't too funny to begin with, and now has aquired "negative funny" because I have to explain to everyone that I was fully aware of what I was posting.

In the future, I will refrain from being sarcastic.

Damn, there I go again.

Cheers,
Dave at Garfield Ridge

P.S. Ranger, I don't know what to tell you. Perhaps this means you'll live seven *more* days than everyone else?

I'm with Hugh. Pretty lowbrow, even for this site, to propogate a chain letter type scheme.

Unless the teaser is something Ace wrote. Then I s'pose it falls under the realm of "shameless self-promotion"... which is just about par for this website. ;)
