Official News BOG, May 2004
The Residents' Official News BOG was a news blog maintained by Big Brother of The Cryptic Corporation beginning in August 2003 (originally titled The Residents' Official News Blog and Website Wrapper), following the company's purchase of the residents.com domain name from fan site RZWeb (now defunct).
Around March 2004, this blog became known as the Official News BOG. In this form, the blog became The Cryptics' (and thus, The Residents') main outlet for communication with their fans until the website's redesign in 2008.
This page collects posts made to this news blog in May 2004, as archived on archive.org, transcribed to this wiki by a Mysterious Spanish Lady.

Mute to release The Commercial DVD for Halloween
- [broken image: LA-LAweb.jpg]
- A still from the Geert Vandenbroele one-minute movie of "La La"
- Mute has everyone at Cryptic scrambling to get The Commercial DVD (and a re release of The Commercial Album) all together for a Halloween 2004 release.
- The DVD will be an amazing collection of one-minute films created by notable artists from around the world - including new films from The Residents. The films will be animation, live action, and puppetry as well as all imaginable combinations of the three. I hope to get stills over the summer to post on the BOG so you'll get a sense of just what a treat this is going to be.
