I Believe in Harvey Dent has updated, there will be a LIVE event:

4/9 PRESS CONFERENCE TO BE STREAMED LIVE ON SUNDAY APRIL 13TH AT 3:00 PM (EDT).

DONUT SUPPLIER NEEDED The Harvey Dent campaign lives and breathes off its volunteer crew. Hundreds of Gotham citizens have joined the campaign to change our city. But this week, our donut donor stopped donating donuts to us. And as anyone who has worked on a campaign knows, if the volunteers are the life’s blood of a campaign, then donuts are the life’s blood of the volunteers. If any of you know of a donut donor who would like to get involved in the campaign to take Gotham back, please have them contact the campaign. Thank you.

Thanks to Bryan and Will for sending this in so quickly.

The links to the clown videos have been removed and “sponsors” have been added which link to new websites, most of the pages in rotation we have already covered.

I have just been contacted by Brian, a lucky participant of the bowling ball marketing campaign - though his circumstances have taken a turn for the worse and he now wishes to sell his beloved prize.

Sorry to proposition you like this but you were a big proponent of me being the first to grab the DARK KNIGHT April 1st Viral campaign package and I just was wondering if you could send a post for me.

The end of last week I had terrible family emergency and we’re going to need all the help we can get money wise. So I decided to Ebay my Dark Knight package. I saw the last one go for $11,520 and if we could get anywhere close to that, it’d be an amazing help to my family. It’s always hard giving out memoribilia that you win, but I know there were a ton of people interested if there’s just one who has the money to spend it’d change lives. So please, think about it posting, if not there’s no hard feelings. I left the ebay page as my website. Thanks, again.

The Ebay Auction

This is the text from the ebay listing:

On April Fool’s we all watched as one by one the locations were stamped! This is an official Dark Knight Viral Bowling Package. This was taken from Glendale NY at exactly 11:27 April 1st, 2008. It’s an amazing package and I’m being torn asunder by friends and loved ones to Ebay this awesome movie tie-in.

The Full Contents

Brown Bowling Bag (in which all the contents were found within)

Green and Purple Bowling Ball - Now, the ball holes are large for a good sized hand, I was expecting some throw away kids ball or even a fake bowling ball, but this is the real deal. Not only is it a great ball, but it is customized with your “clown thug” name and the phone number you were supposed to call when you picked up the package.

Evidence Bag - Another touch of genius the rest of the goodies were wrapped in an evidence bag sealed, no joker face paint though…

Cell Phone - It’s a pretty nice Nokia that has been prepaid and was used to report you’d received the ball.

Note - From the head clown himself…

Joker Card - This really is the jewel in the crown if you will, these joker cards are beautiful and creepy at the same time. I’m pretty sure everyone’s getting a different one but mine has an antiquated feel that just makes it perfect.

PLEASE, bid responsibly. I’m only letting this go because of some bad breaks and the price tag reflects me not wanting to part with the package, I will be happy to keep this, but I know there are those of you who want it more than me, some of you might even deserve it more.

Good luck, and I’ll see you all July 18th…
