You know, you'd think that since this site launched in January of 2004, the decomposition would be a little bit further along...
And aside from the fact that lighting a sealed coffin that's six feet underground raises a number of technical near-impossibilities, the behavior of the webcam itself is a dead giveaway that the site is a hoax. The 'cam' is, in fact, an animated GIF file looking four frames on a 3 second delay. A live camera wouldn't blur like that either, so it's not even a convincing illusion.
Sorry to be a wet blanket. :sweatface:
Granted it's a fake, the concept is a scary one. Will this be a real reality show in a few years, or possibly a show named "Take the Plunge!" that follows the lives of suicide jumpers ... all the way to the ground.
