  55. The original owners of the IP girlgamers.com, which was an advertising agency/scam.
  56.  
  57. Basically, they would recruit the girls as "secret agents' to throw parties and then capitalize on the slumber party's social circle.The website where the girls apply to be agents, which is a different website to the one where it boasts of its ability to access private information about the girls, has all the appearance of being an exclusive club for specially selected girls.

  100. http://www.sgn.com/
  101. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_Gaming_Network
  102. http://www.sgn.com/#about
  103.  
  104. "SGN was originally funded by Austin Ventures and led by a team of Internet pioneers, with the CEO being Chris DeWolfe[10] and CTO being Aber Whitcomb, both co-founders of MySpace. The company was renamed to the Social Gaming Network (SGN) in February of 2012."
  105.  
  106. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_DeWolfe
  107.  
  108. >"DeWolfe was integral to the sale of MySpace to News Corporation in 2005 for $580 million and remained as its CEO until March 2009, at which point, MySpace was larger than its competitor, Facebook.[5][6][7] On April 22, 2009, News Corp. announced DeWolfe would step down as CEO and will be a strategic adviser to Myspace and serve on the board of MySpace China. The former Facebook executive Owen Van Natta replaced him.[8]
  109. In 2010, DeWolfe won backing from Austin Ventures to purchase MindJolt, a social gaming platform, with former MySpace colleagues Aber Whitcomb and Colin Digiaro. In 2011, MindJolt became one of the few multi platform game developers when it acquired two additional companies—SGN, a mobile games company, and Hallpass Media, a free online gaming network.[9] In February 2012, Mindjolt officially changed its name to Social Gaming Network.[10] SGN went on to acquire video game developer Mob Science in June of 2013."

  115. ~~~BOOSTER MEDIA (CURRENT OWNERS OF HALLPASS AND GIRLGAMES)~~~
  116.  
  117. Amsterdam, September 8, 2014 – Award-winning HTML5 games publisher BoosterMedia has acquired the Hallpass Media web game network from Los Angeles-based, independent game developer SGN.
  118. In an all-cash deal, largely funded by existing shareholders, BoosterMedia gains around 6 million active users a month on 11 desktop game websites, including popular brands such as Girlgames.com, Cookinggames.com and Wordgames.com.
  119. http://www.boostermedia.com/boostermedia-acquires-hallpass-media-games-websites-from-sgn/
  120.  
  121.  
  122. Boostermedia has their own SDK. You can distribute your own games through their network via this SDK. You need to add their splash screens, and add advertisments. Once that is all set, you email your game over to a licensing manager. But, these games are screened before posted. In other words, someone is out there giving the the OK to all these fucked up games. It's not just one person seeing it- if you add bonus art material artists will see the art too, since they use bonus art for marketing. No surprise, no mention of these messed up games on the site.
  123.

  238.  
  239. ------------------------------------
  240. THE PLOT THICKENS
  241. -------------------------------------
  242.  
  243. LETS START WITH THE YOUTUBE BOTNET
  244. We've identified two companies that have been using youtube botnets to signal boost their educational videos for ad revenue
  245.  
  246. >http://www.whackedout.in/
  247.  
  248. AND
  249.  
  250. >Mango Movie Productions

  252. https://www.facebook.com/MangoMotionMovieProductions?ref=hl
  253. >Romania based
  254. Also
  255. "Whacked Out Media is the New Media wing of The Mango Mass Media Group, which has over two decades of experience in the global unbundled
  256. distribution of cable, terrestrial, satellite and New Media rights. We are a Multi-Channel Network Partner of YouTube - and have humongous
  257. bandwidth to nurture, optimize, promote, protect and monetize any partner's content effectively on this Platform. From mainstream
  258. commercial cinema content to experimental short-film projects, and from celebrity shows to individual creators, animated or live-action,
  259. Whacked Out Media (very!) successfully monetizes and promotes content on YouTube of all possible genres."
  260.  
  261.  
  262.  
  263.  
  264. THE KICKER IS THAT INSTEAD OF PUTTING OUT POORLY MADE PSEUDO EDUCATIONAL CONTENT,
  265. THE VIDEOS ARE UNNERVING, AND OCCASIONALLY GROTESQUE.
  266.  
  267. SOME SPECULATE THIS IS DUE TO INDIANS' POOR UNDERSTANDING OF WESTERN POP CULTURE

  293. and mouth, and an indian accent rambles. This figure appears in many other Hey Kids videos.
