Alek's Christmas Lights: Humbug

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the so-whaddya-do? dept.

g00set writes "Alek's Christmas lights story was previously covered on Slashdot here, however the Denver Channel is now reporting that it was all a hoax: 'The Lafayette man said he accomplished the trickery by taking 12 "base" photographs of the house with lights on and off and then constructed a Web page that appeared to show lights going on and off when the Web visitor clicked.'"

    Oh, wait, I get it. It's a veiled sexual reference.
