Michael Jackson Coroner video debunked


A new video has been doing the rounds on Youtube called 'Jacko alive?', apparently showing Michael Jackson stepping out of a Coroner's van that is very similar to the one shown previously on news reports, carrying his dead body.
After some mild hysteria from youtube posters and from a few other websites that quickly jumped on the bandwagon, it has now been revealed that the video was in fact made by the German version of Punk'd, to see what exactly the unsuspecting public would fall for. If you watch the second half of this video they show step by step how they made the fake footage. Kudos for some very realistic faked footage!
