Okay, with the new season of LOST beginning on the 31st I thought I'd share an experience that we've had here in Iowa.
A few weeks ago a billboard appeared next to one of our major roads in Ames. The billboard was for Oceanic Airlines. I was thrilled because I knew that it was a teaser billboard for the show. What was interesting was the billboard mentioned new flights to places like London (a clue perhaps).
Well a couple of weeks later graffiti was spraypainted on the billboard. The Ames Police (ever so hot in their uniforms) actually investigated the spraypainting - "find815.com". It's hard to read what the graffiti actually says because the background image is darker and the spraypaint is black, so the words get sort of, um, lost. lol

The Ames Tribune did a story on the billboard and reported that the graffiti is part of the marketing strategy that the advertising agency set up. "find815.com" is an online game that leads up to the season premiere (the guy in the videos on the site is really cute).
So according to the story, there are 9 billboards around the world in the following cities: Los Angeles, Tustin (CA), Ames (IA), Miami, New York, Portland (OR), Knoxville (TN), Seoul and Sydney. These are the hometowns of the main characters on the show!
It's an honor for Ames to be the home of our favorite murderous castaway. :-)
