Resistance 2 ARG website getawarjob.com launches

PS3 Fanboy:

"Earlier we mentioned the ARG(Alternate Reality Game) website getawarjob.com for Resistance 2 and now it appears to be up and operational. The xenophobic urgings of the virtual pamphlets seem almost eerily authentic and calling the number above will result in a message about obligations to defend the "red, white and blue," against "the forces that conspire against us" and exhorts you to "get a war job." A medical pamphlet also alerts us to an "European influenza" and safeguarding the US against "death, disease and destruction." The typewriter in the center has a form for you to fill out including your address and even a listing of "all major medical issues." We were filling out ours half-way and wondering if were really signing away our lives..."

War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself. ~John Stewart Mill

Resistance is necessary.

EDIT: Has anyone tried calling the number on the business cards?

I hope all you guys who signed up don't get spammed. Hopefully Insomniac's above that kind of nonsense. Maybe they'll just Rick-roll you.

I just did. It's just a recording of some guy telling you why you should get a war job.

Well I don't know if it's run by Sony or Insomniac, but it's definitely a Resistance 2 site. The web address was first leaked because it was visible in some scans from a Resistance 2 article that made the front page yesterday. Also you can see the Resistance logo on the test pamphlet.

8.4 - you may be right
while I agree that does look like the resistance emblem on the pamphlet, the text in the privacy policy from the site make me wonder.

"* Verification of a SOCOM account or purchase through a SOCOM Store"

"How We Use Your Information
Personally identifying information, which we collect for a particular promotional purpose or sale through our websites, will be saved and used only for that purpose, unless the participant chooses to opt-in to one of the programs discussed below or is creating a verified SOCOM account or making a purchase through a SOCOM Store.

They are sent an email that confirms this membership and provides a method to opt out of PlayStation Underground membership."

and seeing as thats the only game title in the text it's confusing.

it could be an error on sony's part, who knows
