Michael Jackson is alive and other "experimental" hoaxes.  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 98/100. topffer (4069)   ranked 573 out of 19,253 in questions & answers 2 years ago

On August 25th 2009, a short video showing Michael Jackson alive jumping out of a coroner van was posted on the net and quickly mirrored. On September 1st the channel broadcasting in German at RTL TV said that they made this video as "an experiment aimed at showing how quickly misinformation and conspiracy theories can surface on the internet in a short matter of time ...(and)... to show how easily users can be manipulated on the Internet with hoax videos."
Medias can be manipulated too, and the older members at myLot might remember the mass graves of Timisoara at the end of 1989, and the important function played by this forged news to achieve the fall of communism in Romania.

Personally, I'm shocked by these bad hoaxes playing with death and dead people. In a world where less and less things are shocking, have we still some limits ? "Experimental" hoaxes are fashionable among medias today, to show us how stupid we are without their help. What do you think of such experiments ?

The fall of communism in Romania came from the breaking up of the USSR, and revolution of the romanian and hungarian people against its communist captors. I'm not aware of an hoax involving graves of bodies. No one is believing any michael jackson is alive hoax. I've never seen the video you are showing before.

Hello redhotpogo !
Romania is the only country where the blood flowed at this time.
The fall of Ceaucescu was not so easy, and videos like this one helped :

It's a pure hoax : five days later Ceauscescu was executed with his wife after a short trial.

It's a fake video. You can search for the info.
I don't know if Michael is still alive or he is really death, but I prefer to know he IS alive.

I know that this video is fake, but his music is still alive happy.

Hi friend, it is strange how fast this hoaxes spread and how many people actually believe in this kind of things. I had one of the best laughs of my life when i was searching about 2pac's death over the internet because many people believe he is alive and so on. And among some "serious" convincing movies on youtube about how he is alive i saw a video that made me laugh. It wasn't the content of the video but the title. I quote: "Tupac Alive Ridin' Bicycle Backwards"lollollol. I do see how the fact that his killer remains unknown to this day could lit some doubts. Have a great day!


myLot reputation of 98/100. topffer (4069)   ranked 573 out of 19,253 in questions & answers  2 years ago

He ! It is a very good parallel : you find the same kind of arguments among those thinking that they -- 2pac and the king of pop -- are alive. I would not have thought about that without your post : fine brainwave. I will search for the video of Tupac Riding lol.
Thank you for your response, and I wish you a great day too !

Thanks, as i said just the title if funny at least to me. You have a great daythumbup

I was too young for the whole Elvis craze, but I heard the same thing about Elvis's death. For the longest time, I thought that he had died in an automobile accident or something and his body had not been recovered, because that was the only "sensible" explanation for me as to why people would think that he was still alive. Then, my parents explained about the whole "conspiracy theory" or whatever you want to call it, and it really didn't make much sense to me. If people come up with these crazy ideas all by themselves to explain things that they do not want to deal with, then I definitely do not think the media is doing us any favors by adding to this type of thinking. It is bad enough that you can only believe a certain percentage of "serious news" anyway, and now they are making it even more difficult for people to believe things, even when they are reported by the media. Not good at all, in my opinion.thumbdown

I don't know if I am older or if I have a better memory devil, but I remember the supposed death of Elvis. Are you sure he is dead ? Many people are seeing his shadow behind his windows happy.
I was surprised by this Jackson hoax : a media is not allowed here to do voluntarily a hoax, and I think like you that this is not good at all. I saw a reality show made with another "experimental" hoax : the persons came to participate to a TV show ; it was a reality show and they were treated like guinea-pigs...


myLot reputation of 99/100. purplealabaster (3666)   ranked 127 out of 19,253 in questions & answers  2 years ago

LOL @ "I don't know if I am older or if I have a better memory" rasp

I was alive when Elvis died (I looked it up just to make sure as I really did not know), but I was only a young child ... far to young to know or care about the event, so I did not know about it until much later when people were talking about him still being alive and such. I watched the movies "Eddie and the Cruisers" and "Eddie and the Cruisers 2" when I got a bit older, and I thought that was somehow taken from the whole Elvis craze, which is how I came to know that I was wrong. My mom thought it was cute that I believed that, though.

I do not have a high opinion of the media most of the time, but when they stoop to creating hoaxes, that is a new low even for them, in my opinion. I don't watch a lot of reality TV, and I think that what a lot of contestants go through just to be on the show is ridiculous. I don't care how much money you are going to give me, there are just some things that I won't do for money, and as far as I have seen so far, reality TV is one of them. However, I obviously can't say that across the board, because if they came up with a really neat concept that I was interested, then I might change my mind. I doubt it, though.
