NewsDharma Needs A Few Gullible Men (and Women)
It should be no surprise to anyone who has been following the show LOST that there would be something special during the season finale. Fans were not disappointed. Close to the end of the episode, a mysterious commercial branded with "Paid for by ABC" aired, advertising a recruiting event for a company called Octagon Global Recruiting. They are looking for A LOT of "volunteers to assist in a range of unpaid positions" - a scrolling list displays diverse opportunities and skills ranging from Physicists, Mathematicians, and Botanical Researchers, to Drivers, Janitors, and Ex-Military. This recruiting event will be taking place in San Diego, July 24-27... wait, what's that, you say? Those dates seem familiar? They should - they're the same dates as the San Diego Comic Con.
The website for Octagon Global Recruiting doesn't currently display much other than a streaming version of the aforementioned commercial. However, there is one other nugget of information to be found, tying Octagon Global to the Dharma Initiative. The two organizations are collaborating and recruiting volunteers willing to "contribute to an important new research project." Interested? Just enter your email to register. So far, no reports have surfaced regarding contact from Octagon, but stay tuned.
