Fox's Fringe links to 12-fingered man - VIDEO

Twelve Fingered ManLeave it to J.J. Abrams to do some weird viral video promotion. According to Mahalo, if you perform a certain series of clicks on the Fox Fringe website, it brings you to this video of a twelve-fingered man -- six fingers on each hand.

The video is linked to a YouTube channel and website called PortalToIndia. You have to wonder if it's someone else's legitimate site or J.J. Abrams having fun with us.

Mahalo also gives a set of fast facts:

  • Alleged creator: Stuart Sims
  • To access: Hover mouse over image until it turns into a six-fingered hand, then click
  • Namaste: Frequently heard phrase on Lost
  • Has denied any connection to Fringe
  • Site registry via Concentric's Private Domain Registration service

Abrams has done a similarly cryptic type of promotion for Lost before the show ever aired. I wonder if the twelve-fingered man has any significance to the premise behind Fringe? Perhaps one of the characters suffer from polydactylism?

Finally, did the twelve-fingered man kill the father of Inigo Montoya?

Come on, JJ Abrams? The king of Slusho? You really have to ask if this is part of a viral marketing campaign?
