About the Museum
The Museum of Hoaxes is dedicated to promoting knowledge about hoaxes. (Click here for opening hours, etc.) On our blog we post about dubious- sounding claims, and whatever else strikes our fancy. The site is also home to the Hoaxipedia (the museum's online encyclopedia of hoaxes), the Hoax Forum, and the Top 100 April Fools' Day Hoaxes.

The museum was created in 1997 by Alex Boese. He's assisted by a staff of deputy curators and docents. Alex is the author of three books, most recently Elephants on Acid: And Other Bizarre Experiments (which has nothing to do with hoaxes). Check out the list of the Top 20 Most Bizarre Experiments of All Time for a preview.

"absolutely no verifiable information whatsoever if this clip is real or not"

Alright, Medicineman, you show me proof that the SNL sketch I saw on sunday was not real... And suppose I don't speak English... IOW, imagine how silly it looks to us (Belgians), knowing they're comedians, seeing them on TV regularly, that people keep asking proof. Most of you guys believed the WMDs & terrorist links in Iraq, so I'm sorry if I don't put too much trust in your ability to seperate the bull from the shit

And Belgian is not a language, the majority of Belgians speaks Dutch (Flemish), the rest French and a tiny minority speaks German.

I'm sure I could find some proof better suited to your tastes, but I just can't be bothered right now, nor do I see the need anymore.

And seriously, you looked for proof but couldn't find any... that says enough, there's plenty of proof that even a 10yr old could find. And not being able to navigate on the Gloria site is doubtful, I navigate and find my way around Italian, Spanish & other language sites all the time without knowing the language. Guess I'm a bit more worldly than you.

It is not real, Take a good look at the responses of the public. Especially the guy behind Erik Hartman. When he starts laughing there is no response whatsoever.
And the translation is quite bad. I am Dutch.

I found a long clip on Youtube with subtitles. I had no idea it was fake! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kXf3wx5nPXU

Michel is right, I ran the search and they come up in other videos.

Also the version of the video that claims (via English subtitles) that the guy's voice has gone high because he's had his testicles removed is making a common misconception. People associate high male voices with castration because of the "castrato" phenomenon ("Wikipedia" it). But it only works if castration occurs before puberty, so that the boy retains their childlike voice.

Put simply, having your balls cut off won't suddenly make your voice go high!

For those who still doubt this is fake: Look at the white haired lady sitting behind Boemerang, one moment she looks like she's trying hard not to laugh either, next moment she has the same disapproving look as the other guests. And a few moments later, she's back to the almost smiling face.
