I'm surprised nobody has linked to official website, where you can listen to the entire broadcast.

They're offering a transcript, MP3 files and a Real Audio stream as well as in-depth background information.

You are joking, aren't you? You've never heard of War of the Worlds? Go here and here.

HGWells book, radio show, film, and countless ripoffs. War of the Worlds is possibly the most famous alien invasion film in history - Independance Day was a poor copy of it (I think they called it an homage).

Tonight: Humor at Fox:"How we never went to the Moon and why the peanut-butter has no butter". Featuring Bart Simpson, from a not-yet released comedy for MAD-TV.

But if you got to the show in the middle of it, after the 2-seconds disclaimer broadcast, well, you may well think that it was indeed serious.

Do you guys remember Orson Wells and "The War of the Worlds" radio broadcast? If they had put commercials and had kept saying after them ("... and after this marvelous commercial of Chicken Soup Inc., let's now continue with the theatrical version of the book The War of The Worlds, by H.G. Wells...") nothing wrong could have happened.

Is there any law that prohibits broadcasting dubious information ( = Hoaxes) in a news-informational mode?
