New Hoax Website
Posted By:

You may have seen the Sharp television commercials promoting their new Aquos TV. Their website is listed on it (http://www.moretosee.com), and if you go to it, you get the whole story. There's a link on the website to Steinitzpuzzlers.com. Apparently, the marketing team for Sharp has created an entire "myth" of these three lost urns that was apparently buried by this guy who is now dead, and someone has discovered the first, so now the quest is on to find the other two.

The main characters in this fiction are also keeping blogs:

peter.moretosee.com
natalie.moretosee.com
mike.moretosee.com

And there's a forum for discussing the clues, etc (this can also be reached by clicking on any of the blogs and then discuss at the bottom of a day's entry):

forums.steinitzpuzzlers.com

Thought it was worth a mention.

What makes this a hoax? Lara's post does not say why she thinks it is a hoax. Granted, it could be, as it could be true.

Sharp Aquos commercials have been playing here for weeks...Each one shows a different view of an incident from different people. At the end of each commerical they say go to [url=http://www.moretosee.com]http://www.moretosee.com[/url]

So it's not really a hoax. More like those car commercials that did freaky tricks with cars & then wanted you to see what happened. Nike did something similar I think. They basically want to get you absorbed in the brand.

Whats the name of the first commercials song? I'm not talking about the "More to See" one, the one where it would pan around from a staduim to the disney concert hall. If the song is not available where can I see the video?
