One of the overlooked stories at Comic-Con was “Rachel Blake” crashing the Lost panel and confronting actors and producers about the fictional Hanso Foundation.

For those not immersed in the lore of the ABC television series, Rachel Blake (aka Persephone) is a character in the Lost Experience interactive online game who’s dedicated to exposing Hanso.

At Saturday’s panel, Blake stepped to the microphone and shouted, “Have you no shame? … Tell us what you know about the Hanso Foundation.” Her demand was met with laughter and applause from the audience. Blake continued her assault, pressing the panelists on the show’s connections to Hanso, until she was escorted away by security — but not before she yelled out the URL for Hanso Exposed.

You can watch shaky video of the exchange at YouTube.

The stunt was just the latest in a series of marketing gimmicks for Lost that have included fake TV commercials and websites, hidden messages, a metafictional book and more.
