Nokia launches their Nokia Legends campaign today.   A quirky mix of urban legend film vignettes told by veteran character actor and author Ron McClarty, it consists of a series of oddball stories with a distinctly Twilight Zone feel about them in a clever interactive site designed to look like a newspaper.  The stories cleverly mix technology with far out scenarios.  For example, Hypnotist on the Loose is really a story about electronic payment systems…

My favorite story was the one about the guy who was found frozen to death in his Tokyo apartment. What’s yours?

Anyway, go check it out.  See if you can guess the tech story for each of McClarty’s little tales.   Share it with your friends by reporting them “missing”.  Play the game.
