Sony’s “Men in Black III” Viral Lets You Leave Another Message, This Time For Chinese Take-Out Dan Koelsch, March 7, 2012April 1, 2012 If you watched the new Men in Black III trailer that debuted this week, then you might have noticed the name of the Chinese restaurant featured in the beginning. For those that decided to snoop around, a website for Wu’s Diamond Garden Chinese Restaurant was found. Get the details after the break.
