Yeah, I’m a sucker. A huge sucker.

It seems as though that whole Genetic Mirror Theory of Lost, which I blogged about last week, is nothing more than a hoax.

Get all the gory details here.

I should have been tipped off this morning when someone claiming to be this guy’s aunt emailed me telling me her nephew had created the meme himself.

Her email:

My nephew is the real creator of this theroy. I’ve never been more proud of him.

Congratulations, mattalcala. You got me to post, but I smelled a ruse early on. I just thought maybe the red herring came from someone actually working on the show, so kudos to you for beating their viral marketing machine to the punch.
