Weird: Little Blue Man Hoax
In early 1958 sightings of a “little blue man” running along the side of Michigan highways began appearing in the news. It turned out that what motorists were seeing was actually a young man named Jerry Sprague, dressed in a costume that included: long underwear, a football helmet, gloves, combat boots, a bedsheet with two holes cut out for the eyes and a button sewed on for the mouth and blinking lights on the helmet — all of which had been spray painted a shade of blue that glowed faintly in the dark. He would jump out of the trunk of his friend’s car, run along the highway a bit, and then jump back in the trunk.
The mysterious little blue man soon became national news. The pranksters eventually turned themselves in to the police and were let off with a warning.

Hoax? Marilyn Monroe Sex Tape
Marilyn Monroe seems to attract hoaxes, in the same way that Hitler, Bigfoot, and Paris Hilton do. I guess it’s because any news about Marilyn is guaranteed to get attention, which is what many hoaxers are looking for.
The latest Marilyn news is that a sex tape starring her was sold for $1.5 million to an anonymous wealthy businessman, who swore he would never make it public. The tape is said to be a copy of a film that has been kept classified by the FBI.
The promise of the businessman to not market the tape sounds very noble, but nobility probably has little to do with it. The tape is probably being kept from the public because it doesn’t exist.
Defamer, with the help of Marilyn Monroe expert Mark Bellinghaus, has put all the pieces of this story together.
