More than likely, possibly, definitely fake, but quite thought provoking nonetheless.

It would have been nice if it was true but Jarno Smeets actual name Floris Kaayk has admitted that it was a hoax. Turns out Kaayk is a veteran hoaxer—he also made a documentary about a fake disease in 2006.

Regardless that it wasn't, unfortunately, true, he is a damn fine hoaxer to be sure.

He must have a lot of time on his hands if he doesn't make money from his hoaxes.

He probably gets some kind of bankroll from the media after his stunts, who knows, it might be the media commissioning his stunts..
