Someone I know told me about this one. I was surprised by the quality of it, especially considering the source.

I almost believed this one

Not really a prank, but I like it. Reminds me of that advertisement in Nintendo Power a long time ago (where they were advertising a new game and showed pictures of playing cards that Nintendo had released a long time ago).


Edit: Watch a video and click the "1911" button.

XBMC to partner up with Sony to deliver HD content

As Jonathan Marshall, XBMC Foundation President put it, “While the free and open-source model worked well when we were all still in our parents’ basements, now that we’ve been showered with gifts from our new friends at Sony, we understand that it is not sustainable in the long-term; DRM is the way of the future.”

:lol:
