Times Square hacking video was a trailer for ‘Limitless’
Will Brinson
Remember that AWESOME video where the foreign dude hacked into every video screen in Times Square? And remember how I said it was probably fake?
Well, it was. And it was a trailer for some movie called “Limitless.”
How do I know? As it turns out, the guy made ANOTHER YouTube video after the first one went what we in the Internet business call “viral.” And in this one, he explains how he created the first video — he did so by ingesting a pill called “NZT,” which just so happens to be the basis for the movie.
The lesson as always? At least half of everything fun on the internet is usually fake.
