  • digitalpoint, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I just noticed he even put a notice about the previous hoaxes on the page too...

    'Actually, the "hoax" this year is that everybody is going to think it is simulated as I did the last 3 years ... but it's actually real this time...'
  • Bazkaz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Very cool Alek. Maybe I'll have to drive up and have a look this year. If I don't make it for Halloween I'm gonna have to come up for the Christmas spectacular.

    This has been covered on Slashdot for three years, and it's a hoax.

  • nopal, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Stripped my links..... http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=04/12/27/2314213
  • digitalpoint, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I can actually see someone at the Frankenstein right now. Maybe they are fixing it. haha
  • lilme, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0That's cool. I tried to deflate the hulk but I don't think that was working.
  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Some great sound bites here - "This is so fake" and "really think hard about it" - so I used those in my Trick-or-Treat page at http://www.komar.org/halloween/2005/trick-treat.html

    And oh yeah, since it is a grey rainy day here in Colorado and you can see the lights, I just turned on the webcam. One heck of a simulation if I'm doing during the day and with raindrops! ;-)
  • digitalpoint, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I'm pretty sure it's not a hoax, since he has been talking about setting it up and planning it for months.
  • digitalpoint, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Yep... he got busted for the hoax on the Christmas lights last year. But he decided to "really" do it this year (I only know this because I know the guy).
  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0We all love Alek/Hulk - and it's great to see him in digg.com
  • lilme, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0The funny thing is it *was* simulated but this year it's for real.
  • SlappyMc, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Oh wow, this is really cool unless its some type of hoax.
  • robg, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0This is so fake. Cracks me up those that are trying to pretend that it's real. Think about it. Really think hard about it.. actually, don't think hard about it and you can still figure out that it's fake.
    Good one to pull on kids though - they'll think its real. :)
  • aeiouy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0That is very funny... Although now I am counting the minutes until it is dark.

  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0The "hoax" is that everybody thinks it is simulated again (as I have done for the last 3 years) ... but technology has been advancing, so I decided to do it for real this year. T

    One minor correction is that I wasn't "busted" last year - one of many inaccurate reports from the press (their ego's were a bit bruised over the whole thing) - as I "out'ed" myself to the Wall Street Journal - read the whole story at http://www.komar.org/xmas/hoax/
  • weirfire, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Great Stuff Alex.

    Looking forward to the 34567 lights at Christmas as well. :)
