We’ve had some more viral news sub­mit­ted to us in the past 24 hours, let’s see what else we have…

Joseph Can­do­loro

First up, emails that were sent to Mr Joseph Can­do­loro were met with this reply,

Your busi­ness is impor­tant to us. Mr. Can­do­loro sees the law as some­thing that should work FOR peo­ple, not against them. We’re excited about talk­ing to you about how we can help you, so please call our offices dur­ing reg­u­lar busi­ness hours.

Con­tin­u­ing with this theme, from the record found at St Swith­uns, Mr. Can­do­loro mar­ried one Angela Rossi, Bryan Gray has pointed out that enter­ing “Al Rossi” or “Ran­dolfo Rossi” into the record search leads us to Albert Rossi’s (a wit­ness at the mar­riage) Bap­tism cer­tifi­cate. (Ran­dolfo Rossi is the father of Albert Rossi).

Through some clever detec­tive work the Rossi trend con­tin­ues. Rossi’s Deli which was the orig­i­nal meet­ing place of the “Cit­i­zens for Bat­man”, Dark­xXxPixie at unfo­rums found the web­site, Rossi’s Del­i­catessen — www​.rossis​del​i​catessen​.com:

Gotham City Clerk

Pierre has also informed me of Gotham City Clerk web­site — www​.gotham​c​i​ty​clerk​.com, which bears some infor­ma­tional mes­sages but most impor­tantly a web­site for another DA candidate.

Please excuse the incon­ve­nience, as we are cur­rently rebuild­ing our web­site and file sys­tem after server dam­age due to the recent Orange Line destruc­tion. We hope to be back online serv­ing Gotham City very soon.

Forms and appli­ca­tions for the fol­low­ing ser­vices are still avail­able at our N. 6th St. offices: Park­ing per­mits, busi­ness licenses, dog licenses, festival/block party/raffle/bazaar per­mits, night­club licenses, oath of office forms, oper­a­tor licenses, retail licenses, liquor licenses, street ven­dor licenses, med­ical reg­is­tra­tion forms, notice of claim forms, and garage sale permits.

The Gotham City Clerk announces approval for exten­sive absen­tee voter sup­port in the upcom­ing munic­i­pal elec­tion. Once the sys­tem is in place, we will post details and pro­ce­dures for both online and mail-in absen­tee balloting.

Trust Garcetti

That can­di­date is Roger Garcetti and his cam­paign web­site is — www​.trust​garcetti​.com. This comes with some new pro­mo­tional but­tons to pro­mote Mr Garcetti, an email address to vol­un­teer — “volunteers@​trustgarcetti.​com” and under the Who is Garcetti we find this — what are the chances that these lead to fur­ther sites?

The Gotham Fra­ter­nal Order of Police says, “Garcetti has the
expe­ri­ence, and part­ners with police to stop crime.”

The Gotham Police Union says “Roger Garcetti has the integrity,
the tough­ness, and the judge­ment to lead and win the war against crime.”

The Ital­ian Her­itage Soci­ety of Gotham says, “Roger Garcetti’s
ded­i­ca­tion and loy­alty make him the can­di­date to trust.”

3/30 BREAKING NEWS: ACTING DISTRICT ATTORNEY ROGER GARCETTI

ISSUES STATEMENT ON CHARGES AGAINST HARVEY DENT

“The charges made by some of Gotham’s finest police offi­cers against Har­vey Dent are extremely seri­ous. These brave men in blue have stood up against Har­vey Dent’s intim­i­da­tions and the tsunami of pos­i­tive press Har­vey Dent has been reap­ing to tell their story. It is an astound­ing act of courage, and I com­mend them all for hav­ing the guts to tell the truth to the Gotham pub­lic. I salute each and every one of them.

These police offi­cers are some of the finest we have. Many have received medals for brav­ery on duty. All of them place their lives at risk every day to pro­tect you and me.

It was always obvi­ous that Har­vey Dent’s mad lust for power was cor­rupt­ing his pros­e­cu­tions. Now, we have proof. Affi­davits and tes­ti­mony by police offi­cers that Har­vey Dent threat­ened and bribed police offi­cers to entice them to tes­tify against their inno­cent broth­ers on the force.

It is time to end the sorry chap­ter that Har­vey Dent has forced upon the Gotham peo­ple. I expect his res­ig­na­tion from his job and his with­drawal from the race, if he has any honor at all left.”

Act­ing Dis­trict Attor­ney Roger Garcetti

Trust Garcetti 

We stand at a cross­roads in Gotham. Ours is a city of great char­ac­ter, with unlim­ited poten­tial and a cre­ative, diverse, and hard-working families.

But Gotham faces a crit­i­cal prob­lem — grow­ing crime. To take on the prob­lem of crime, we need expe­ri­enced lead­ers that tar­get mob­sters, thugs, and killers — not the peo­ple who are sworn to pro­tect us. If I’m elected Dis­trict Attor­ney, I’ll give the police the tools they need to fight crime — because that’s how we’re going to make our streets safe.

Every day I work hand in hand with the real heros of Gotham — our brave men in blue. Gotham cops are some of the finest men I’ve ever had the honor to know. Every day, they put their life on the line to pro­tect this city. They risk their lives because they believe in jus­tice, in law, in order.

And that’s why the Gotham Police Union has endorsed me, Roger Garcetti. They’ve come to know me very well in my time in Gotham. I’ve always sup­ported the police in every way pos­si­ble. And now, when they are under attack by a “run­away pros­e­cu­tor,” they’ve turned to me once again. In their endorse­ment, they said, “Roger Garcetti has the integrity, the tough­ness, and the judge­ment to lead and win the war against crime. He is the best friend police have ever had, and we endorse him strongly.”

I am hon­ored to have the sup­port of Gotham police offi­cers. They are the best peo­ple to answer the ques­tion, “Who will make our city safer?” And the answer is me, Roger Garcetti.

Vote for me, and I will pro­tect all the peo­ple of Gotham.

Thank you.

Here’s the new Joker viral web­site we’ve been wait­ing for — now we await the fool’s day puz­zles:

Clown Travel Agency — www​.clown​trav​e​la​gency​.com

Thanks Agent ONeal

(this comes from the ana­gram we posted earlier)

IBelieveIn​Har​vey​Dent​.com has updated with an “urgent announce­ment” con­cern­ing slan­der­ous remarks. Many elec­tion cam­paign par­tic­i­pants have had a phone call alert­ing them to this.

3/30 Urgent Announcement

Har­vey Dent rejects the slan­der­ous charges made by a shad­owy group of unknowns call­ing them­selves “Con­cerned Cit­i­zens for a Bet­ter Gotham.”

Har­vey Dent has always been truth­ful and upright in his pros­e­cu­tion of cor­rupt cops.

There is no truth to any of the charges put forth by the oper­a­tives behind this shame­less group.

Don’t lis­ten to the lies and innu­en­dos of the peo­ple who want to keep Gotham the way it is!

Update from the Joker

The Joker phones that came in the cakes have been ring­ing again, this comes from one of the “clowns left in” Vlkers54 via Hol­ly­wood Chicago:

“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 intially) 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.”

The let­ters cur­rently stand at:
W-E-Y-R-V-T-A-N-C-A-L-C-E-G — looks like it may include the word “Har­vey Dent”

I just noticed this name at the very bot­tom of the Con­cerned Cit­i­zens website,

“Joseph Can­do­loro, Esquire, is the founder of Con­cerned Cit­i­zens for a Bet­ter Gotham.”

Try­ing out the name yields this inter­est­ing web­site: www​.joseph​can​do​loro​.com –peo­ple may want to try out that email address and tele­phone number:

Joseph Can­do­loro and his asso­ciates pro­vide legal rep­re­sen­ta­tion in fam­ily law cases in Gotham. Our ser­vices are highly indi­vid­u­al­ized to address our clients’ par­tic­u­lar situations.

Fam­ily law lit­i­ga­tion is com­pli­cated by ties of blood and emo­tion, but we have devel­oped an arse­nal of tech­niques to cut through com­pli­ca­tions with sur­gi­cal pre­ci­sion, an approach that while it seems ruth­less, we feel causes the least long term dam­age. Our approach includes a per­son­al­ized attorney-client rela­tion­ship, based upon each client’s indi­vid­ual cir­cum­stances. We strive to be the voice of rea­son dur­ing a highly emo­tional time, and we work hard to set­tle mat­ters with­out lit­i­ga­tion when­ever possible.

Spread the word. Make an impres­sion! Let’s get cre­ative in demon­strat­ing our support!

Take Back Gotham!

Hol­ly­wood Chicago and Vlkers54 have a nice lit­tle report of the events at 8am:

I was at the 8 a.m. stop. I got there at 7:30 a.m. and I sure am glad I did. At 8:03 a.m., the cops came and kicked us out! Only me and another guy showed up, but we did end up get­ting a lot of free stuff [includ­ing] bumper stick­ers, posters, but­tons and a T-shirt.

You should have seen the peo­ple as they were com­ing out of the train station:

“Who is Har­vey Dent?”, “What is this all about?”, “Is this for that movie?” (We responded: “What movie? ‘No Coun­try For Old Men?’ That’s a movie!”)

We kept “in char­ac­ter” and pro­moted Har­vey Dent for [dis­trict attor­ney] as if he were a real per­son. Con­fus­ing peo­ple was a lot of fun. Some peo­ple did catch on to what was going on. Even middle-aged men who knew who [Har­vey Dent] was were excited, [asked] for but­tons and filled out the peti­tion forms.

It was a lot of fun, but let’s hope the cops don’t ruin the 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. ses­sions. I can’t make the 11 a.m., but I will be at the 4 p.m. trail.

The offi­cial Har­vey Dent web­site, “ibelievein​har​vey​dent​.com” has been updated to include a new mes­sage and some text entry boxes for your email and phone number,

“We have the power to change Gotham City, soon you’ll find out how”

On doing so you get a quick con­fir­ma­tion email reading:

Cit­i­zens of Gotham! The future of our city rests in your hands! Alone, we are help­less against the thugs and killers men­ac­ing our city. Together, we have the power to take back Gotham. In just a few days, you’ll find out how. Please click … to ver­ify your e-mail address. Keep an eye on http://​www​.ibelievein​har​vey​dent​.com and get ready to join a move­ment that will trans­form our city!

It looks like the sec­ond major viral mar­ket­ing cam­paign shall be focus­ing around Har­vey Dent, rather than the Joker, which falls in line with the rumors we have heard con­cern­ing the third Dark Knight trailer.

Via Hol­ly­wood Chicago and with thanks to Austin

Remem­ber those delights we dis­cov­ered in the Bak­eries? — the attached cell phone, clues, joker cards, etc? Well that phone has become active again, send­ing out creepy texts from the Joker to his newly recruited gang of cake eaters. The brand spank­ing new Hol­ly­wood Chicago received this in the mail:

I have the cell phone and I just got a text mes­sage from the Joker today from humanresources@​whysoserious.​com. Here’s what it said:

“You still out there, clown? Reply and let me know.”

I replied “yes” and I got another response:

“See you found my lit­tle mes­sage. So do you think you have what it takes to be a part of my cir­cle of friends? Are you a back­stab­bing, self…”

Then the mes­sage gets cut off. Oth­ers I have talked to with the phone have said the same thing. I am sure this is an auto­mated response.

I replied back “yes” to the last text and I am wait­ing to see what hap­pens. I will keep you updated!

 *fin­gers crossed*

We are the Answer, part of The Dark Knight’s viral mar­ket­ing cam­paign, www​.wearethean​swer​.org, has updated and sent out emails to thank every­one that rat­ted out on the cor­rupt police offi­cers of Gotham City:

Adam at Hol­ly­wood Chicago received this email:

Dear cit­i­zen,

Today is a momen­tous day for Gotham and for all of us who have par­tic­i­pated in We Are The Answer.

Tips from con­cerned cit­i­zens like you are help­ing to bring cor­rupt offi­cers to jus­tice. You can be proud that you have aided your fel­low cit­i­zens in tak­ing the first step toward a safer city.

Due to the over­whelm­ing cit­i­zen response, we at We Are The Answer are pour­ing through an avalanche of police cor­rup­tion tips.

We should be through with the cur­rent back­log of tips by the very begin­ning of the New Year.

Thank you again. The good cit­i­zens of Gotham have to stick together to fight crime and cor­rup­tion. All of us have a brighter future to look for­ward to.

Whilst the web­site has added this new mes­sage — the bit at the very bot­tom is inter­est­ing — it implies that a new viral cam­paign may start up some­time in the New Year (when they have got through the back­log that is):

 UPDATE: First Police Offi­cers Indicted Thanks To We Are The Answer

We Are The Answer has been over­whelmed by the reac­tion of Gotham cit­i­zens since we asked for your help. Thou­sands of con­cerned men and women who are out­raged at how Gotham City has been betrayed by the very peo­ple who are sup­posed to defend us have flooded this web­site with tips.

All of your sub­mis­sions are being inves­ti­gated, and We Are The Answer today announces the indict­ment of two GPD offi­cers for cor­rup­tion. It is with sad­ness, not pride, that We Are The Answer seems to have shown in a mat­ter of weeks how deep the cor­rup­tion in Gotham goes.

These offi­cers are Jason McCree and Larry Coniglia. McCree is sus­pected of accept­ing bribes. Larry Coniglia is under sus­pi­cion of inter­fer­ing in an inves­ti­ga­tion, rack­e­teer­ing, and assault. Coniglia is also being inves­ti­gated for the death of a Chechen gang mem­ber who died in a police hold­ing cell.

It is impor­tant to note that these offi­cers are inno­cent until proven guilty. We Are The Answer will con­tinue to fight to clean up GPD, and ensure that police offi­cers are work­ing for the cit­i­zens of Gotham and not its criminals.

Work­ing with GPD’s Inter­nal Affairs and Assis­tant Dis­trict Attor­ney Har­vey Dent, We Are The Answer has taken the first step to tak­ing back our streets from crime and cor­rup­tion. Thanks to all Gotham cit­i­zens who have helped us in this essen­tial endeavor.

NOTE: Due to the over­whelm­ing cit­i­zen response, we at We Are The Answer are pour­ing through an avalanche of police cor­rup­tion tips. We should be through with the cur­rent back­log of tips by the very begin­ning of the New Year

So, yes­ter­day evening the Why So Seri­ous viral mar­ket­ing cam­paign that we have been par­tic­i­pat­ing in as of late came to its con­clu­sion by unveil­ing The Dark Knight teaser poster.

This post is a catch-up entry to fill in the gaps between the “step right up” chal­lenge and the release of the poster. My last post revealed a num­ber of scary cud­dly toys with loca­tions pinned to their bel­lies, at each of these loca­tions was a bak­ery with a cake, inside of which was an evi­dence bag con­tain­ing a phone, a joker card and a note. When each cake was grabbed, the bear was removed and we all came one step closer to hit­ting the bell.

Here are some more pic­tures of the cakes via our friends at Hol­ly­wood Chicago:

When all of these cakes were dis­cov­ered, hit­ting the bell won the prize… and click­ing through lead you to an evi­dence page with two joker cards:

Each of the cards is a link, the left card takes you to the poster page, which we have all seen by now. The right takes you to a sign up page for what looks to be some pre­view screen­ings in IMAX cin­e­mas across the coun­try — the pro­logue perhaps?

And here’s a pic­ture of the ticket via Hol­ly­wood Chicago:
