The Violette Letter

So our mail folder tells us we received the following tip 9 days ago but of course we didn’t post it because we had no clue what it meant, if anything. We never wish to waste our dear readers’ time unless there’s a bad joke involved, even though there are unlikely to be more than a dozen of them and they probably have nothing better to do. But anyway, this cryptic shit pisses us off:

Onward up the tiresome hill
Every house in Dary Dail
Elves normal mischief engulfs
Another night in Normandy goes

follow-the-dream

What the hell are we supposed to do with that, we ask you?! Well, as it turns out, we were probably supposed to pay attention to the sender’s email address to figure out it was related to this Violette’s Dream campaign, reports of which are cropping up at the usual locations, and which ostensible ARG may or may not be connected to an upcoming video game called Velvet Assassin, most likely an educational health game about STDs or some crap. Of course, that’s enough for Unfiction, which is all over this crazy farce already.

And no, we’re not at all jealous that we didn’t get any bars of gold, dammit.

It suddenly occurs to us that we could have pasted “follow-the-dream” in our browser’s address bar and it would have automagically tried to append .com, which would have redirected us to the main website. Hindsight just pisses us off even more. Jerks.
