Al Gore may replace Orson Welles as America’s Greatest Hoaxer.

The words “We interrupt this broadcast,” was repeatedly followed by dramatic accounts of Martians invading America, were heard by 6 million radio listeners one infamous Halloween night in 1938. Millions of panic-stricken Americans, first relieved then furious, found out they’d been hoaxed. They had just heard the radio adaptation of The War of the Worlds, by H.G. Wells, produced and narrated by Orson Welles.

The Welles hoax lasted 60 minutes, and if “Climate-Gate“ charges are true, Al Gore’s hoax will have lasted 17 years and panicked billions more Americans and people from every nation in the world. The similarities between these hoaxes are many; some coincidental, and some frightening. Thankfully, for the purposes of this article, all are entertaining. Let’s look at just a couple.

and was only stalled by the start of World War II that very same year: 1938.

Great article, but to be believed as a serious writer, this guy had better get his history straight. And yes, I know that Austria and Czechoslovakia were occupied by the Nazis in 1938, but WWII did not start until September 1, 1939.
