Creep Out! I may be the last person to have found this but whatevs..

The image of Sonar 2008 is mainly in video format and can be seen on the Internet. It consists of seven 1-minute recordings in home video format, filmed in a in mysterious location and showing beings with a disconcerting genetic make-up, that are half human and half animal.
The videos are shot in the back of a "genetic experimentation" laboratory in a remote location in central China . The beings that are the results of biomolecular experimentation are filmed in this setting. The ultimate objective of these experiments is to create a new species of pet like those that used to be exhibited in travelling circuses, like the alligator woman or snake boy.
The pets are shown locked in cages and laid out on a kitchen table while they timidly answer the questions asked in Chinese from outside the cage by unseen speakers.
These videos have been gradually uploaded, as viral marketing, to the fake website http://www.b1158.cn/b1158.html and on YouTube, with no links to the Sonar festival made clear. The result has been spectacular - there were 180,000 hits in only two days, it was no. 13 in the YouTube "Most Viewed" ranking" and no. 3 in the Science and Technology section.
