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

Leave 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?
