Holy shit, my first thought before reading the other comments was that it might be a free energy device... Typed 'energy', it worked. Solar, power, and environment then worked too. We're getting somewhere. - Vincent X
if this is an ad for BP I'm going to be pissed. - Veronica
Al Gore also works. I'm not kidding. - Leo Laporte

I tried all the TV networks (including PBS) none of them worked - but "online video" worked - Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins

play made the box dissappear for a bit. - Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins
oh, it's gotta be a game show! so, it's an online video show about global warming/the environment / renewable resources that could possibly also be a game show. hmmm... - Veronica
sports - Grant
play, bat, sports - theme - Hao Chen
If I had to guess, it's a promo hype builder for an eco-related channel. That's my prediction. - Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins
game works - Bruce Turner
Uh-oh. Type 'Sharp Aquos'. (someone mentioned that on Digg) It better not be a new TV. Ooooh, just found out that Sharp are developping solar power generation systems. Hmmm. http://sharp-world.com/solar/ - Vincent X
It's Schrodingers Cat - Mike Martin
Now I'm pretty sure it's Sharp-related. http://1080pd82.ca/ - Vincent X

You called it, Vincent. Sharp keywords seem to do the best. - Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins
yeah, baseball works - Bruce Turner
as do tv and television - Bruce Turner
HAH! I looked up domain name records, the domain name was registered by an advertising agency called Lowe Worldwide. Then did some research, and found this in a 2007 press release: "Sharp Electronics Corp. is close to shifting the global advertising account for Aquos LCD TVs to Interpublic Group of Cos.' Lowe Worldwide, New York, from independent Wieden & Kennedy, according to executives familiar with the situation." - Vincent X
somehow I feel a little let down. my life is pretty much the same now. - Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins

Oh no, change worked...the box is going to assimilate us 8( - Sean Dunn
Probably sponsored by obama :) - Grant
one last word - it's funny. Pornography - Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins
There's a huge risk to playing this viral marketing game. Piss off the players and you're toast. - Leo Laporte
Same here, Grant. I still have hopes though that it could be a free energy device invented by Al Gore and produced in partnership with Sharp Electronics that will change the course of history, end our dependency on non-renewable fuels, cure cancer and bring about a new golden age for humankind. - Vincent X
I put "air" and it turned into a glowing ball. WTF? - shaun mclane
HD and high definition give a response. Vincent X FTW, btw. - Bruce Turner
Wow, great find Donato! - Vincent X
I gave up and handed over my e-mail address. - Jonathon

so each category prompts a different response...and now the fun is gone and it doesn't really reward the user - Marc Vermut
via twhirl
Veronica, how did you find this? And isn't it amazing how quickly the community took it apart? - Marc Vermut
via twhirl
The domain is registered to Lowe Worldwide, an agency specializing in creative development. Their clients include Saab, Unilever, Johnson & Johnson, Nokia, GMC and others. I couldn't find Apple on any of the lists so I'll throw my 2 cents and say that this is Nokia related, the iPhone 3G wannabe killer. - Mirko
ahhh good call on the code! now we have all the words! it's gotta be for the TVs. - Veronica
movies, music, video.. etc.. anything around media - InsaneNinja
That was fun while it lasted. Crowd-sourcing at its best. - Brian
