We saw the video last week and knew right away that it was a hoax but apparently alot of people did not. Internet snoops could not determine where the video came from.

Now a German television station takes claim of the video they say was created to show how easy it is to spread rumors on the internet.

The video shows a "fake" Jackson hoping out of the coroner's van.

CNN.com reports that more than 880,000 people have clicked on the most popular version of the video on YouTube, posted by a user using the name “michaeljacksonhoax” under the title “Michael Jackson alive?! Seen coming out of coroner’s van!” Nearly 3,600 people have commented on the video.
