His wife tells me that's not the only thing that gets faked around there.

No kidding? A friend of mine used to do that sort of thing on his website, he even thought of charging for the "live webcam feed". Sort of the "a fool and their money are soon departed" sort of philosophy.

This is a story where I'd probably file under...WHY? What point would it be for someone to make up something like this? What would be the benefit at least?

The only thing I could think of course is, publicity. But, after your 15 minutes of fame is up, what do you have? A whole lot of people pissed off at you. What a great idea!

There are so many great aspects of this story here are some of my faves

"We took the guy at his word, and obviously that was a mistake," Byron Grandy, the news director at KMGH TV, told the Wall Street Journal on Monday.

OK..... What do you say to a news source that just takes someones word.

"First, let me say there was never any malicious intent here. It started out (as) a 'technology puzzle' and I figured I could provide some holiday cheer to folks," Komarnitsky explained on his site.

Great!!! Holiday cheer for losers who should be enjoying holiday cheer with their families not on the Internet jacking with your lights.

"I apologize to those people who may be angry with me, but hopefully most will see the humor in the whole situation ... and realize that my attempt to bring joy and a smile to people's faces was successful," he said.

Great.. Apology accepted I laughed and laughed.

On Tuesday, Komarnitsky was busy keeping track of all the Web sites that covered the story of his hoax.

Oh look the FREEPERS are spending valuable time on me.. WHOOPEEE
