I actually brought the story to the attention of a well known talk radio station presenter. Subsequently Freck was interviewed live on air.

I forgot all about it, until today I was looking in a cupboard for a black sharpie and I rediscovered the clipping. I went looking on-line to see if anything ever came of his audacious claim, and that's how I discovered this blog. So I guess he never did it.

This was almost certainly the very first internet hoax both James and I came across. Might it have been one of the purveyors of internet hoaxes? It was funny how much time we spent talking about Freck and that site. I can't remember exactly when we realized that it was a motherf'ing sham. Remember the guest book, and all of the pissed off people, some who paid and some who didn't? That too was probably one of the first "flame wars" we came across. Well, in spite of all of that hype, I agree with James when he says that he's glad we didn't pay our $19.95. I'd like to think too that that experience paved the way for us to be able to cut through the bullshit that is so many things on the internet. Thanks Freck. Ah yes. Mr. Freck.
