I Knew It!Remember the guy that got a crapload of attention and media coverage for giving the ability to control his huge display of Christmas lights that folks could control via the Web? The whole thing was a hoax. Here's the official word from the guy who runs the site. 3 CommentsBlue said on 12/29/04 @ 05:56 PM:Next thing you know is that Bastard will tell us there is no Santa Claus. alek said on 01/01/05 @ 11:25 AM: Welllll Blue ... if I did tell you that Santa Claus was a hoax also, I'm sure the press would try to crucify me for that ... so I won't! ;-) Nice reporting Jake - you actually linked to the WSJ article that broke the the story and also linked to my site where I explain it. I hope you don't mind me popping in and pointing out one more page which is my media commentary page where I comment on some of the things that were inaccurately reported about the whole thing - needless to say, the media ain't too thrilled with me! ;-) So for those handful of folks who were annoyed by the hoax, I'd encourage folks to read my side, and then form your opinion. The response has been overwhelmingly positive. alek alek said on 01/01/05 @ 11:27 AM: Ooops - that URL is http://www.komar.org/xmas/hoax/media.html Post a comment |
