Latest Edition of the Snicket Report Hits

Eyes first began appearing throughout the "official" website for the film Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events nearly six months ago. Eyes, known in Spanish as ojos, are widely recognized as the chosen symbol of Count Olaf, the actor, villain, parental guardian, and alleged presidential candidate.

In recent months, nineteen eyes have been discovered by unsuspecting visitors to UnfortunateEventsMovie.com. Each eye has given its finder access to a different miserable experience, including screensavers, film clips, and IM icons. The 20th Eye has long been suspected to be the last of its kind, and the worst of the lot. A person reading this article need only to click on the eye to find out, but the Snicket Report strongly advises against it.

In what is perhaps the most alarming development of all, an anonymous source has reported that new subscribers to the Snicket Report will now receive the 20th Eye as a special gift, an expression which here means "the worst present you could imagine, unless you have ever received chewed bubblegum."

The editors of the Snicket Report either refused to comment, were speechless, or had duct tape over their mouths.

Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events opens December 17th.
