New Harvey Dent Phone Message and Website Updates in Dark Knight Viral Campaign

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting and don't forget to tip your waitress!!

There has been so much Dark Knight stuff going on lately that I’ve barely had time to even think about researching anything else!

I, and just about everyone else who has submitted their phone numbers to the I Believe In Harvey Dent site, got the following message today:
.

For those not up to listening to the message, it basically consists of Dent talking about a group spreading “slanderous allegations” in an effort to derail his campaign and asking us to visit the “I Believe In Harvey Dent” site to learn how we can help.

The site has been updated with the following information:

3/30 Urgent Announcement

Harvey Dent rejects the slanderous charges made by a shadowy group of unknowns calling themselves “Concerned Citizens for a Better Gotham.”

Harvey Dent has always been truthful and upright in his prosecution of corrupt cops.

There is no truth to any of the charges put forth by the operatives behind this shameless group.

Don’t listen to the lies and innuendos of the people who want to keep Gotham the way it is!

If you want real change in Gotham, join our movement to take Gotham back!

News:

• Meet Harvey Dent! Harvey Dent will be at a Townhall Meeting to answer all
your questions about how to take Gotham back! 3pm, April 1, Gotham
Community Center #12, Gainley

A site for this Concerned Citizens For A Better Gotham has also popped up, with a video, petition, news section, biography section, and form to sign up for updates. Of course, I signed up.

The video, featuring several cops voicing their opposition to Dent, follows this script:

I know Harvey Dent.

I worked with Harvey Dent.

I did case after case with Harvey Dent.

Harvey Dent is no hero.

Harvey Dent has not been honest

about the Gotham Police Department

Harvey Dent lied to the court.

I know, I was there, I saw the whole thing.

Harvey Dent is lynching good cops

For headlines and poll numbers

He’s using money, threats, and blackmail

To get good men locked up.

Harvey Dent is framing good cops

for his own political purposes.

Harvey Dent betrayed those cops.

He betrayed his office.

He dishonored this city, he most certainly did.

Harvey Dent cannot be trusted.

Here’s the latest news, which I assume will be the main focus on Dent’s April 1st Town Hall Meeting

Eight Cops Unmask Harvey Dent As Corrupt, Out of Control Prosecutor

Eight Gotham police officers stood up for the truth today at a morning press conference at Gotham’s Hotel Internationale. One by one, the police officers took the podium and told their story. Their devastating testimony showed that Dent is a dishonest, corrupt, out-of-control prosecutor who threatened police officers in order to get them to testify against innocent cops who Dent wanted in jail. Francis Notaro, Sergeant, told the press corps that Dent had offered him money to testify against an innocent cop, Jimmy Scaliano.

And just who are these Concerned Citizens For A Better Gotham?

We are a group of over 100 concerned businessmen, police officers, and residents who work tirelessly for a better Gotham city. We believe in strong values, strong families, and clean government. We believe that to fight crime, we must support our brave police department, which is under attack in the streets by thugs and in the courts by corrupt prosecutors. We contribute our time and money to fight to improve our city for all of its citizens.

So it looks like April Fool’s Day will kick off the next phase of this viral campaign.

I’m also working on an update for the Joker’s side of this little dance, that will - hopefully - be coming soon.
