What's all this, then?

Congratulations! You've discovered a fun, interactive, fictional story sponsored by Audi. This campaign is similar to what's known as "Alternate Reality Gaming," in which a community of users become a part of the story, interact with its characters, and help each other unravel its mysteries along the way. If you'd like to immerse yourself in this entertaining, challenging experience, you can check out "The Story So Far..." chapter links on the right, to get up to speed on the adventure, and there's also an FAQ page...then be sure to visit the discussion forum and join in the fun! (And don't worry, nobody will call you at 3:00 a.m. -- it's not that immersive.)

Meh, it happens. The first time I saw the commercial I was like "Damn, I wish someone would have made a nationwide commercial when my Monte got stolen"

I bought it until I started looking around the site. There are too many good pictures and details on there for them not to have made an arrest.

Hehe. One born every minute.

It caught my attention the first time I saw the ad, but half way through the ad, I figured out what was going on. Pretty good gimmick.

Did you also become alarmed when you saw the commercial about counterfeit Mini Coopers?
