[awesomeXD]

I actually thought it was real towards the end because of the people laughing. But the first few no one seem to notice.

 

[GingaNinja]

I'm gunna say it's real
you can do that with radio stations so i wouldn't doubt that you can do it with televisions

using the proper signal there is potential so to hard to say Fake or not too. My vote is real, it doesnt matter if people notice or not, happens to be that crimes happen a lot while only a few people ever notice while they are in progress. I may get around to watching a couple more times as the screen resolution resizes would likly be the same when the signal is altered, not exact but something that would help tell a little better.

If it is a fake then the fact is these guys did a good job either way.

Times Square Screen Hack Turns Out to be a Hoax

March 19, 2011 at 11:06 am

Earlier this week, a viral video started spreading online showing two men in Times Square claiming to hack its large electronic screens using only an iPhone, a weather balloon, a transmitter, and ?video repeater.?? According to The Village Voice, who made the early prediction that the whole thing was a hoax, it turned out that the video was?a hoax.

It seems that the video was merely a viral advertisement for the movie Limitless, created by a viral marketing firm called ThinkModo.

When approached by the film?s producers to come up with a viral idea, ThinkModo decided on Times Square, but rather than resort to CGI or post-production editing, they pulled off the fake hack by actually using real ads on the Times Square screens, doing a real ad spend to rent them.

ThinkModo says to Village Voice, ?Instead of some crazy CGI, we actually went to the screens and paid to play our own stuff on them. They just synced what was playing on the iPhone to what was really on the screen.?

leave it to Tension Head to spoil the post!

In fact it is real so to speak. the images on the screens are their actual iphone images, just no transmitter doing it from them. So in a way it is real and fake
