  BTW, with some (intended) delay my point on #LookingGlass / #Mozilla:.
  
  First: Hey, yes, they fu**ed-up!
  But: I can understand why…
  
  Because, personally, I'd really liked such a thing. Hey, yes, I like #MrRobot and it promotes the same values as Mozilla. And an #ARG can be funny, including such a "intentionally creepy" text in your add-ons and so on. It's really a geeky thing when you get hidden signs for a TV show, you like, in your browser or so. As Mozilla puts it, it "was intended to be fun".
