I think it was Henry Copeland from Blogads who answered that he sees ARGs more like the beer commercial that starts out with the pretty woman; the content might not have much to do with the product, but it''s a good tease for it rather than an outright hoax. Of course, in the context of television commercials, it's a lot easier to tell what's an advertisement and what's actual programming (usually, anyway).
