New 'The Dark Knight' phone call on April 19, 2008 for Harvey Dent survey; call 877-777-6197 to hear

At 1:07 p.m. on April 19, 2008 I received a phone call (again from 000-000-0000) for a Gotham survey on Harvey Dent. To hear it again yourself, you can call 877-777-6197.

The first question asks you about how “warm” your feeling are for Harvey Dent running for district attorney (played by Aaron Eckhart). The four questions after that are hypothetical questions (i.e. how you’d feel if he has close ties to organized crime, etc.). The final question asks the first question again to see how the smear-causing hypotheticals would change your opinion about Dent.

There’s more. I thought to check the Concerned Citizens For a Better Gotham viral site again and found this text on the main page:

Quote:Message from the Webmaster:

You may be wondering why I haven’t updated this site recently. Well, you wouldn’t either, if you were facing legal actions like slander charges and defamation of character accusations.

I can’t afford to get sued for hundreds of thousands of dollars, especially now that everyone who supported this site is “unavailable” or “can’t remember” they had anything to do with the site.

If I weren’t waiting for my last paycheck, I’d go on a little “vacation” myself. In fact, if you don’t get any more updates from me in the next few days, it means I did just that.

This whole smear campaign has been a real SOURCE of consternation for me. I’ll be glad when it’s all in the past. And you know what? I just might vote for Harvey Dent.

William Bucksworth-Haven, Webmaster Extraordinaire

There’s more still. Notice the SOURCE in that text? I checked the source code for the page. When you do, you find a commented code. This means it wouldn’t appear on the live site and you couldn’t see it unless you viewed the source code of the page. The code is 164938.

It’s no coincidence that there are six questions in the survey ranging from zero to nine. If you answer the survey with the 164938 sequence, you get a secret message. I’ll let you listen to that yourself. Enjoy!
