You can fool some of the people all of the time...
Recently, a website for the Mothers Against Videogame Addiction and Violence (MAVAV) organization stirred up the debate on violent videogames. The site drew praise from family-oriented groups and ire from many video game fans.
After some investigation, these guys showed that the whole website was a school project created by a clever college student. Though all of the creator's articles ("offline due to editing") and facts were completely made up, many people continue to believe them. The creator mentions that he still receives e-mails of support and criticism even after revealing the hoax.
