ok this was found on Seattle Times website


Coming soon

The Xbox team has promised to roll out some stealth marketing campaigns to promote the highly anticipated game "Halo 2" and, sure enough, the movie trailer that's advertising the game shows a brief glimpse of the Web site www.ilovebees.com.

The site looks like a page about beekeeping that has been hacked. It links to what appears to be a blog of someone who is trying to fix the hack but is stumped.

There's a pretty obvious hint on the blog that Microsoft is behind it. The blogger refers to the date Aug. 24 — because that's when another marketing stunt will occur — and lists major world events that have taken place on Aug. 24: the eruption of Mount Vesuvius that destroyed Pompeii, the completion of the Gutenberg Bible's printing, and ... the release date of Windows 95?

if you want to see it for your self go to msn and search in news and search ilovebees.

yeah someone agrees that all it is is a subverted marketing campaign to get hype for the game microsoft and bungie have done it before Examples are: The movie AI, Marathon Gold, Cortana letters there are more just can't remember names I believe AUG. 24 They will either begin infecting other sites or they will begin the tv marketing campaign also another good example of what is going on is the syphon Filter: Omega strain commercials.

Watch this... 11/9/04 is the supposed realse date, but if I do this...11+9+4= 24
It's magic!!

And also Bungie likes to realse games on Tuesdays...Aug 24 is on a Tuesday, well so is Nov. 9...

Haha. That'd be awesome if it'll come out on the 24th. But I dunno, we'll just have to wait and see.

PS- Can you pull a bunny outta your hat?!

36-(11+9+4)=12
(9+4)-11=2
12*2=24
