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

  • Has denied any connection to Fringe
  • Site registry via Concentric's Private Domain Registration service
