iPod Fraud
Posted By: Stephen Johnson - Monday, February 27, 2006 6:50 PM

Much has been written, said, and speculated about the video which surfaced on engadget last week, of what looks to be a new, full-screened video iPod.

Even more was brought into question when a video arose that looked like a step-by-step documentary of how to fake this new iPod. Was it real? Was the video of a fake iPod itself a fake?  Was it just a piece of clever viral marketing designed to further increase interest in the new iPod?

The answer is no. The video is real, the iPod is a fake, and we did it.

We at Attack of the Show take full credit for the photoshop AND the video, because we did them both.  Included here:

IFraud: How we faked the Ipod Video

Ipod Fraud

Watch the Video

is a video of us making the video that shows you how we made the new iPod. 

We did it because we knew you would buy it.  We knew you wouldn’t fact-check.  We knew that, even though you knew there were a million possible sources of this picture, you’d believe it because it was on the Internet.

We got you, Internet.

Eat it.

Oh snap! Now if I only cared about iPods it would have been way better. But I don't. So it wasn't.

WAAAAAAAAY cool guys! You grabbed the iPod-junkies by the balls with this one, in a world-wide scale.

And you are damn right, if it's on the web it better be true, otherwise it would be just a waste of bytes...

Oh that makes sense, you couldn't just put the pic on your show, just to fool the people who watch your show.
But no, you had to put it on the internet, and to fool the people smart enough not to watch your show.
Thanks for destroying the trust of millions of people on the internet.
Screw you guys, Kevin was the only good thing.

Oh and by the way, without Kevin, ATOS is just another crappy show on a station that bought out a great channel (techtv) and destroyed it.

AOTS didn't make that video. Their footage is very different from the video on the Internet. The guy who made it is German or something, and when he does the Google search the previous searches box doesn't show up.

I agree with Bobbyrose!
