Fake Human Sacrifice at CERN

From Phys.org (AFP):

The European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) has launched an investigation into a video filmed at night on its Geneva campus depicting a mock ritual human sacrifice, a spokeswoman said Wednesday.

The bizarre video which has circulated online for days shows several individuals in black cloaks gathering in a main square at Europe's top physics lab, in what appears to be a re-enactment of an occult ceremony.

The video includes the staged "stabbing" of a woman.

[...] "CERN does not condone this type of spoof, which can give rise to misunderstandings about the scientific nature of our work,"

Publish or perish ... it seems like some may take things too far.

Also at The Guardian.

    John Titor, black holes destroying the Earth, and now fake human sacrifices in front of a statue of Shiva. CERN knows PR.

      I agree that the VN [wikipedia.org] is amazing (I own - and have played - the PC version in the original Japanese), but the John Titor reference is older than that. The VN just used what was already there [wikipedia.org] :)
