Two pieces of online fiction

I am going to stick with the ones I know best. First we ARG online game for The Dark Knight. This website(s) focus around creating an alternate reality for the upcoming movie the Dark Knight. The websites aim to create Gotham as real place. Some are very realistic, not even mentioning Batman or even Gotham. For an example of this take a look at Betty's house of pies or Acme Security Systems. Which the latter of the two is so tricky that it takes the "toxic watch warning" at the bottom of the page (a reference to Batman Begins) to know it is related. Some though are more obvious, such as I believe in Harvey Dent or the main website, Why So Serious? This has been awesome (and time consuming) to keep up on.
Another one is awesome one is the time fake Bono (from fake U2) took over fake Steve Job's blog and began to update his life on Fake Steve Job's Blog. It is pretty funny stuff. Check out the first article here.
