Read Carefully the site advises, "If you’ve found me, you’ve seen the clip and you’re someone willing to dig a little deeper".
The clip is at 64.224.245.33 and carries the text "E. Bruderton, property of Bureau section7" on it. If the Afghanistani shoot-out scene seems very real to you it's because they sort of are.
This is all hype for the upcoming august release of September Tapes, possibly the first Western production to shoot entirely in Afghanistan since the fall of the Taliban.
Hollywoodreporter has more on the story and says that during certain sequences, bullets whizzing by onscreen are actual live ammunition. So if it looks real, it's because it kinda is. If this will be a succesful Blair witch kind of viral hype remains to be seen. Hat tip JLB

The Blair Witch thing was way back in 1999, in internet years that is ancient. It worked then, but at that time the internet was kind of new for most people so creating a stirr wasn't that difficult.
I personally think the "is this real?" viral thing is almost impossible to create these days, with all these blogs, fora and sites around. The truth will eventually come out. In internet speed.
Dabitch, hat tip? ; -)
