Stop TARP was an ARG about a protest of a (fictional) ARG that was to be presented at SXSW 2009 by Brian Cain, Brian Clark, Dee Cook, Steve Peters and Lance Weiler. It was a very mini and very meta ARG in that it only ran for about a week and it confused a lot of people as to what it was exactly all about. It was also ridicously fun to play.
