Commercials usually suck…
My sis came over tonight to watch last night’s epi on TiVo (thank you Tivo friends!) because she thinks she had something better to do last night than watch Lost (geesh, some people). So we are watching, forwarding through commercials, of course, and I see a glimpse of “Hanso.”
“Did you see that?” I exclaimed.
“What?” my sister says.
“Hanso, I just saw the word Hanso in that commercial!”
“What’s Hanso?” Ah, the silly girl.
So I back the bus up and in between Dodge and the Invasion spot, there is a commercial for Hanso!
Check out the link above! It starts off with something like a lake scene at night with sketches of Plato and the guy in the circle (I think it is Divinci’s sketch). Voice over, “Since the dawn of time man has been curious, imaging all that is possible (*insert space shuttle blasting off and sketch of a strand of DNA*). The Hanso Foundation (*insert distant picture of Alvar Hanso in building*) reaching out to a better tomorrow (picture of the world, very Star Trek esque).” Then they go on to say, “Discover the experience for yourself, call 877-HANSOORG.”
We called the number and you get lots of different options. For instance, we picked #1. You get a polite greeting and then there is something like interference, a foreign language, something about Jeronimo Jackson and then a lady talking in a panic.
Check it out and let me know what you find!

OMG this is a great find!!!
I called the # 877.426.7674, also checked out http://www.thehansofoundation.org. Gotta go there, lot’s of good stuff! Calling the number will get you to a phone tree. There are 5 different selections you can make on all of them, just as was previously noted, there is someone speaking in a foregin voice, mentioning Jeronimo Jackson. I can’t make out what language it is, maybe French? It’d be great if someone could translate and post!
The other thing of note (maybe) on the website, and on the recordings whenever someone is done speaking they say “Namaste”
I was trying to find out what it means google produced these results:
http://www.flex.com/~jai/articles/namaste1.html
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Namaste
1) General info - States the address of the Hanso Foundation 544 Resant Clingbye (spelling???) BK 1604, Copenhagen Vee (sp?)
2) Alvar Hanso - CEO Founder; (Female Voice) Where is Alvar Hanso, what have they done with him, who’s in charge here…(feedback noise and then cut’s off)
3) Dr. Thomas Verner Mittelwerk - SrVP, COO, CTO Hanso foundation; Will be unreachable for the next 3 weeks. If you are an employee of Pake (?)Heavy industry and Widmore Corp , engaged in active projects I will be updating confidential information line, refer to manual for hotline access instructions.
4) Hugh McIntyre - Will return to the office in 2 weeks, If you’re calling for more information about our Korean offshore project, please hang up and call legal dept. If you’re calling for more info about Joop, the worlds oldest orangatang, please refer to our website, thehansofoundation.org
MSG 1 -Hugh, it’s Thomas (not Dr. Thomas Mittelwerk), just got the changes, good work. We should go ahead and rename the accelerated remote viewing training facility as well. We need to put a public face on all this, call me.
MSG 2 - It’s darla, I need to talk to you about Sri Lanka, this just isn’t right.
5) Peter Thompson - (Female voice) Hello you’ve reached the office of peter thompson vice president, general counsel, and secretary of hanso foundation, Mr thompson is not available to take your call. if your calling for an inquiry to our korean offshore project, we must respectfully decline to comment (struggle then Male speaks) gimme the phone irene, this is peter thompson, as chief legal officer i’d like to remind those that make threats against me and my collegues, or any representatives of Pake Heavy industries and widmore corp that these acts are criminal make no mistake we will locate and prosecute you to the fullest extent of the law. that’s a promise! Namaste!

HUGE THANK YOU *NEGRODAMUS* for all of this info. This is great!
1. “namaste”
Definition: a bow and gesture of greeting or parting with the palms together in front of the chest; also, expressing respect through this gesture and bow
2. Korean? I would say at this point it is safe to assume Jin’s father is involved.
3. These recordings make it sound like some sort of takeover happened at the Hanso Foundation. I am going out on a limb and saying Zeke and co. had something to do with this.
4. Interesting clues: From your 4) “oldest orangatang” - Aging experiments perhaps? 4) MSG 1 - “accelerated remote viewing training facility” - that would explain how the “bad” Others are keeping tabs on the suriviors. 5) “korean offshore project”
5. This references Widmore. We don’t know that the REAL Henry had anything to Widmore but fake Henry said that was his company. Mr. Fenry was probably telling the truth during that part, at least.
Huge thanks again for getting all of this down!

No problemo!
Ok, so I’ve been a tad bit obsessed (more so than usual!) with this since seeing the commercial, finding thehansofoundation.org site, and calling the 877 number. So, my frantic search today has uncovered a ton of info. All of it new to me, some of it may have already been posted on here and if that’s the case, sorry. Otherwise, here we go…
http://www.oceanic-air.com/ - Lot’s of interesting stuff here. If you look on the right-hand side of the page, there’s some text in the background. If you view the HTML you will find that the background text says:
“If anyone should find this message, please get word I’m alive and stranded on an island somewhere in the South Pacific. Please send help soon. Things are bad. And they’re getting worse…
I survived a horrific plane crash and am stranded on an island somewhere Northeast of Australia and Southwest of Hawaii. In the event that I am never found, please forward word of my fate to my parents.”
Also if you go to the “Track Flights” page, click on “Track” it’ll show a detailed list of flights. Check out flight 572.
http://www.garytroup.net/home.php - I didn’t know how this was related to LOST at first but then I started poking around the website…start off with the “About” and “Author” pages….
http://www.thehansofoundation.org/ - Sign up for the newsletter!
Clicking this link will take you to a press release from hanso foundation discussing the problems they’re having w/their website today…I tried calling the number but it goes to a VM which is full.
http://www.valenzettifoundation.org/index.html - Interesting sponsors…Widmore Laboratories. Also, clicking the “Our famous Ancestor” link takes you to a page with info about MILO Giacomo RAMBALDI…? Are they trying to tie Lost into Alias somehow…? wierd.
http://widmorelaboratories.com/ - “Proud to be the exclusive manufacturer of all Dharma and Infinity brand foods and pharmaceuticals for over three decades.”
http://widmore.com/ - notice the field for CV Station ID…on the map that was on the Blast door, the hatches had CV numbers CVII, CVIII
http://www.bigspaceship1.org/
http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=14732&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0 - This site is probably the best I’ve found so far with info on the Hanso Foundation.
Ok, so I’m a little obsessed…..so what.

OK - now I am not only missing stuff in the show but I am also missing the commercials! - this is getting to be too much for me!
May 7th, 2006 at 9:43 pm
Wow, I’ve seen some of these links but certainly not all of them. I’m especially intrigued by the bigspaceship. I would say Fenry has a link to Widmore which *obviously* links to Hanso. Sounds like the food is coming from them. They are also drinking the water… which I think is drugged somehow.
