    I searched CNN.com and found nothing? What is this auritribe.net?


    #EDIT#
    Just searched Google, and found a few other forums showing this, all linked to this site. Is it possible that this is a hoax?

    I think this is definately a hoax. If you click any links on the above website, it goes to the real cnn.com site

    Also, when I go on the main http://auritribe.net/ site, I just get a flash applet loading... Infinately it seems

    Fake but rather amusing. If it was real apart from being on cnn.com rather than that site it'd also be on the other major news websites.

    Yeah, its a hoax !

    Made you look !

    However it does make you wonder with loads of games getting bad publicity as of late wether things like this could eventually actually happen ?

    As for the heat getting to me, yeah probably. Also was the only Chef at work 10am till 5pm on bank holiday monday and I got hammered so still reeling off that !!!

    Erm... yes. Its a hoax. FF7 isn't going to be banned when no-one is playing it anymore, they'd be on about GTA:VC or something, Bush does not comment on Super Mario as offical policy, the site isn't CNN.com, and, well, for a million other reasons.

    Definately fake, looks sorta convicing though. The email is a Gmail account so I didn't even read it.

    The part that says "Mario was unavilable for comment" kind of gives it away, no?
