Shards O’ Glass
Sitting here watching the Superbowl, and out of the blue a hoax website is featured in one of the ads: ShardsO'Glass.com. This company supposedly sells freeze pops embedded with shards of glass. It's a satire of how cigarette companies sell products that they also know are bad for people's health.

Ok, I gotta say... that's a pretty impressive website they've got. Lot of effort for what boils down to a parody of cigarette manufacturer websites and suchnot.
Very nice.

Very nice.
Quite professional but a wee bit too blatant to be funny - the best hoax sites are those that are subtle enouigh to fool some people into believing they're real. This one come's off too earnest.

Paul, I don't think subtlty was going for, considering theTruth's "hoax" commercials and campaigns at the past are designed to be blatent and vaguely disturbing. It has to be obvious enough that kids get it's not real and at the same time they understand the message of it, since theTruth is more about keeping kids from smoking than about getting adults to stop.

I started laughing so hard! I almost thought it was real, until I realized how hilarious that would be to put nicotine and glass in a freeze pop. I visited it on my iPhone and it didn't take me to thetruth.com, it took me to the website. Hilarious
