GoogleTV Beta: A Total Hoax, but an Impressive Hoax

So that GoogleTV Beta video recording that we posted last Friday is , unsurprisingly , totally Bachelor of Science . It ’s a put-on , a joke , a trick , all perpetrated on us byFatal Farm . They usually make twisted remake of 80s situation comedy openings ( which are in reality pretty fishy ) , but I guess they get tired of making Alf look like he was showing the Tanners hidden lavatory River Cam footage and decided to mess with Internet eccentric instead .

Now , normally we would n’t give them any redundant care , but after their first video get under one’s skin so many people riled up they decided to make a follow - up . In the above video , “ Mark . E. Erickson ” gives a demo of the “ GoogleTV Beta ” in a individual shot , hear to turn out that logging in and out of Gmail 700 times will actually arrive at you access .

It ’s obviously still faux , but what ’s impressive is how nerveless the mockup they made just for this prank is . It see like they made a fake GoogleTV just to track down for these videos , and it looks astonishingly like something Google would create . I ’d in person rather have a television of them show what they did to pull this hoax rather than another one trying to convince us that it ’s veridical , but that might be wishful thought process . In any case , let ’s just think of it as a cool product concept produce by prankster goose rather than Photoshop sorcerer . Yeah , that ’ll make you finger advantageously about wasting four 60 minutes of your life-time logging in and out of your electronic mail chronicle .
