The Oceanic Golden Pass Commercial
If you didn’t want to sit through ABC’s premiere of Eli Stone last night you probably missed the Oceanic Airlines commercial that aired. The commercial, disguised as a promotion for an Oceanic golden pass, was really a way to promote the Lost alternate reality game located at Find815.com.
In the middle of the commercial, ARG character Sam Thomas breaks in to say, "You can’t trust these people. Oceanic flight 815: we found it." The commercial then cuts to a quick shot of the flight wreckage, before coming to an end with one of those perky flight attendants telling us that an Oceanic golden pass is our ultimate passport to paradise.
Overall it’s a fairly cool commercial, but really nothing new if you’ve already been playing the Lost ARG.
I have to say, I found this more than a little disappointing. Right now find815.com just has a intro page talking people through it, I guess so the “norms” know what’s going on or something. I was really excited last night that the find815.com story would be built out even more, but right now it just looks like that’s wrapped up, and now they’re just pumping hits to the site.

Theres a number that goes along with the video thats posted on the abc press release site if you call it you get the voice mail of oceanic, if you press 5 the zero it will ask you to enter 81 then # to gain access to the mail box, it the asks for the box number (i’m assuming 5, to continue the 815 set) then the # again and then it asks foe the password but i have no idea as to what it might be… anybody got any???
