Real TV newsreader Maria Cuffaro fronts YouTube attempt to trigger same panic as 1938 adaptation of The War of the Worlds
If anything can be said to have "gone viral" in the pre-digital age, then it was Orson Welles's 1938 radio adaptation of The War of the Worlds. Telling HG Wells's story of an alien invasion by means of realistic news bulletins, Welles created genuine panic.
But what would happen if the same stunt were pulled using the awesome, scare-spreading capabilities of the internet?
More than 430,000 people have clicked on a YouTube clip purporting to be from an Italian news bulletin reporting the imminent arrival of extraterrestrials.
