Planet Project: Harris, the pollsters, team up with a bunch of other marketing-minded corporations to ask the people of the world (or at least, those with access to the Web) such questions as "Would you switch your race if you could not change it back?" and "When you die, what do you think will happen to you?" Sign up to lend your voice—or do a little culture jamming and explain why, when you die, you'll meet Claire, the giant armadillo who lives on Pluto and directs everything we do from a colossal high chair, where she eats nothing but creamed corn forever and shouts "Corn! Corn! Corn for me!"

What's the deal with their "News Room" link?

Seems like in their haste to throw this marvel of marketing up on their site, the WebDev team decided to publish whatever they had ready and fill in the gaping blanks later.

I consider it my moral duty to engage in culture jamming. I can't wait for the 15th!!!

And what about their "Don't Click Here" link?

Sounds like 3COM is trying to get demographic info on web hipsters.

i can picture strange little marketing trends after the poll is done...little Armadillo icons appearing...new advertising to try and get more 24-35 year old males to buy creamed corn...

Hmm, it's either a marketing site - so I won't be participating.
or
questions created by an international team of students around the world. - so, erm, I won't be participating.

Either way, I can't see a re-visit.
