That's the address for a sickening reality television show that they are said to be producing.
The title of the article is:
"Matt Damon and Ben Affleck want the whole country to hunt down one person for their new reality show."
The caption after the title is:
"The Runner will be released exclusively for Verizon's Go90 mobile app."
Quotes from the article are:
"one individual must traverse the country in less than 30 days unnoticed while countless participants, including viewers, work to locate and capture the person."
"The series was first sold to ABC in 2000, but the unique manhunt-as-entertainment idea was shelved following the 9/11 attacks."
"The Runner gives (Verizon) a high-profile TV series to use as a testing ground for the mobile advertising efforts of its AOL subsidiary. 'This is an excellent format for a brand-new platform,' Marc Joubert, a cofounder at Adaptive Studios, said in a statement. 'The Runner' is our way of meeting a millennial audience where they live--on their smartphones and on social media.' Verizon head of product innovation Shawn Strickland says 'Go90 is inherently social and producing content that supports those elements of the platform creates a pairing for something unique.'"
I did not think that Mr. Damon and Mr. Affleck would do something like this. However, they have spent more than half a decade proving to be people who have done a lot of things that I could never have thought they would do.
