What is 28cheeseburgers? I stumbled on the website when using StumbleUpon and it is really strange. Does anybody know what it is?

Apparently, someone found a USB drive in a gas station restroom with a video and a bar code square on it and decided to make a web site based on those two things…

According to my decoding software, the bar code pattern appears to be plans for an anti-matter bomb that will cause the sun to explode.

@HungryGuy Lol that’s all I got out of it too. No idea what the point of it is though.

@PluckyDog – Wanna try and build that bomb? It looks like we’ll need some refined unobtanium and a little distilled impossibilium…

Could it be a little deliberate web marketing? Trying to create a mystery to promote a film project, ala Blair Witch?

@Blueroses That’s what I was wondering ..on the right side of the screen, the person is talking about fliers and such.

@Blueroses – Could be. Back when I was a kid (before the internet), I wrote a shareware spaceship simulation game in Turbo Pascal. I coped it to a zillion floppy disks and left them behind on buses, the subway, restaurants, rides at Great Adventure, public restrooms…

Looks like whoever made this video is doing something similar with USB drives…

@Blueroses – That’s what I suspect, as well, after carefully inspecting the site.
