Here's my theory: The Hanso Foundation is an actual Foundation in real life that is just using LOST as a gimmick to promote itself and DHARMA products such as DHARMA peanutbutter and DHARMA ranch dressing.

Can't be. Anyone who experienced all the crazy stuff on the web site should know that.

I agree, if this was a real company, the creators would have made up another one.
