During the 2007 San Diego Comic-Con, altered $1 bills were distributed throughout the convention. These bills changed George Washington's picture to include red lipstick and blacked-out eyes (in a manner similar to the Harvey Dent photo on Ibelieveinharveydenttoo.com), as well as replacing "ONE DOLLAR" with "WHY SO SERIOUS?". Using WHY SO SERIOUS as a .com address led to a Joker henchman recruitiment page.
Initially, Whysoserious.com showed a vandalized Uncle Sam "I Want You" poster (see below) with a countdown timer in the upper right, counting to 10:00AM PDT, and coordinates leading to a location in San Diego.

GPD was led on a merry chase through the streets of Gotham as hundreds of citizens in bizzare make-up worked with online counterparts to perform tasks and solve puzzles. |

Soon after the final update, Whysoserious.com was shut down entirely and redirected to Rent-a-clown.com.
