New Dark Knight Viral Developments
There have been a few goings on in the world of The Dark Knight over the weekend. Short version: Some people who registered with the Ibelieveinharveydent.com site received a new phone call, which lead to a number of other websites. Those include ccfabg.org, a site running a smear campaign against Harvey Dent, complete with video. That also leads to josephcandoloro.com (stated to be the found of ccfabg.com).

The more interesting part is that a number of US journalists who received promotional phones from The Joker have received another call. According to one of those lucky few, who posted on Hollywood Chicago, the message was:

“Hey clown, ready to get to work? (I replied “yes”.) Ok, good. You are 1 of 17 clowns still left in the game (remember, there were 22 phones initially) I have a letter for you. Here is your secret letter… are you ready for it? Your secret letter is “L” as in “Laugh”. Can you remember that? Good. Now get to work and tell all of your goons. We’ll be in touch soon.”

How all the people with phones came to learn each others' letters, we don't know, but they added up to a new URL for clowntravelagency.com. There you can see a suitcase with stickers for several international cities and a date of travel of April 1, which is tomorrow. So is there something big coming tomorrow? We'll keep you updated.

Finally, the thehahahatimes.com has updated with a new Joker-defaced version of the issue of The Gotham Times posted last week.

OK, that wasn't really a short version. But this thing is complicated. Fun though.

Hi Sowasred2012, I've just emailed you about the bag you found (excuse the glaring grammatical error). Can you drop me a line back when you get a sec, please? Don't want to post my email on here in case I suddenly get tons of hate mail/stalkers/penis enlargement ads (I've been burned by ones that don't work too many times!). Congratulations on finding the bag. I'm exceedingly jealous. All the best, Olly ... Read More

RE: sowasred2012 beat us
Yeah, I love the Tavistock bowling alley, Bloomsbury Bowl its called if anyone's ever around the Russell Square area looking for a night out - it's little expensive, but one of my first memories of London (only moved here about 14 months ago) is going there and walking in, getting leathered whilst bowling and then, when I was too drunk to continue bowling, stumbling back towards the entrance only to find that they have a little cinema there, and they were showing The Big Lebowski on repeat!
