    It's for the Flipper re-boot series on ABC.

    It's kinda sad when kooky cults aren't even legit anymore.

    This isn't some stealth campaign tie-in for a goddamn Day of the Dolphin remake, is it?

    You know how you know it's an ARG? It's all way too well designed to be a cult.

    @Grrsn Dn: Yeah, that was the first tipoff for me. I'm like what kind of 1970s cult knows how to embed flash movies like that?

    See, using your built-in audience wasn't that hard.

    It's not an ARG.
    It's a real cult.
    These "people" are dangerous and will definitely massage your feet.

    @D'Amicos one good year: I've never seen these flyers while I was roaming the Frisco streets. I need me a foot massage and if I can talk to dolphins while I'm at it, all the more better.
