In a dark corner somewhere

“The television trailers for the film Untraceable claim that in ‘a dark corner’ of the internet, there is an ‘untraceable’ web site,” writes Antony Hawkins from the University of Sheffield.

“Then it gives the web address: www.killwithme.co.uk.” You can sort of see where this is going, can’t you?

“Ignoring questions about whether or not the internet has physical attributes, such as corners, a couple of minute’s work indicates that the site is registered to Magnet Harlequin, whose offices are on an industrial estate in Uxbridge, on behalf of Working Title Films. Should be something for the FBI there.”

Just in case anyone from the FBI is reading this, and for all of you who watched the Bourne films, you know that – in a secret control room somewhere – we have just flashed up on a screen. Here is a map of the internet’s untraceable dark corner: www.tinyurl.com/ 3ahqyu.
