Why Are Bizarre Masked ‘Beings’ Staging Marches & Handing Out Black Globes Across America?

Gawker brings us a truly bizarre story of silent, masked beings staging “strange marches” across the country.

Reports have come in from Denver to New York City to L.A. that “strange marches” are being held in public areas, its members silent and wearing white masks with a single teardrop falling from the left “eye.“ They are carrying signs printed simply with ”#miracleday“ and ”miracleday.com“ and are distributing tiny black globes emblazoned with ”Miracle Day 07.08.11.”

Obviously this has something to do with what has been reported to be happening tonight.

As it turns out, the masked-marchers are part of a publicity stunt for a new STARZ original series titled Torchwood: Miracle Day. The premiss of the show is that, after Miracle Day, all of mankind will become immortal.  That’s right. Come July 9, 2011, no one will ever die.

So, will staged antics such as these compel you to watch Torchwood, or skip to the next channel?

    If I have lived the life Jesus has wanted us to live. I hope and pray to live in immortality with my God and his Angels. If I have lived his scriptures. Amen

    Just a few hints –

    Miracle Day –

    No more bodies to the morgue as they don’t die in hospital or from car accidents.

    No more funeral homes.

    No zombies, just folks that never die. One characters father has a heart attack and is in the hospital. Will he get better or just live in misery forever?

    One was in a terrible accident. One minute he was dead, the next he wasn’t. He is alive. Will his wounds ever heal?

    I love Torchwood. I’ve been a fan for years. The location of the series is changing from the UK to America.

    I watched the show and it’s rebroadcast last night. For some reason, while folks continue to live and never die, they don’t seem to heal. If you’ve a terminal disease, you just suffer.

    I can’t wait until next week.

    How will they save humanity from life in rotting bodies? Bodies that live and continue to age and sustain damage?

    I guess immortality isn’t what some folks thought it was.

      Smalldog: You hit it on the head. Obama’s regime wants to kill off the old and infirm with their death panels. This program is indoctrinating people to accept that it is better to get rid of the ill, than to pay for medical expenses.

    Torchwood, like the Doctor Who Torchwood? I watched a few episodes, but it was kind of silly. No. Just the title alone tempts me to skip it.

      First of all please shut up and watch the show before you open your mouth its apart of the Doctor Who franchise and its really good (the first season was iffy but the rest has been great) and as a whole the Doctor Who series is the longest running Science Fiction series ever

    I Trust in the Resurrected Jesus; and day passed nothing so no thanks.
    1Corinthians 15: [52] In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. [53] For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. [54] So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. [55] O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? [56] The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. [57] But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
    1Timothy 6:14…until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ: [15] Which in his times he shall show, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords; [16] Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen.

    Sounds interesting…but if they’re immortal now, then why is everyone in the movie using guns? Wouldn’t they be rather pointless?

      Yes. They even had a criminal executed and he didn’t die. A man blew himself up and his remains continued to live, as did his consciousness.

      The problem as the Torchwood folks see it? With no one dying, the population of the globe increases at an alarming rate. They calculate that mass starvation should start to happen within four months.

      A theme for not keeping people alive with medical care? Is there a hidden agenda?

      You see people in hospital, and they appear to be suffering. Why can’t they die? Are there hidden messages?

    Naw, I don’t need trailers, previews, etc. — interesting marketing, though. I’ll be watching it, because I likes me just about everything Doctor Whoish. I’ll take a lot of creativity, imagination and plot with a limited production budget, rather than the opposite, any day.
