The Emma Watson nude countdown is revealed as a hoax

Actually, most web-savvy coders already knew it had to be fake, because it never did not count down to a precise moment in time, but rather employed some simple code to use the clock on your own computer to generate the clock on the screen. If I went to the site, for example, it might say that the big moment was 3 days and 17 hours away, but if you connected from Sydney at the same moment, it might say only 3 days and 1 hour. Oh, lucky you, to get everything before me. If I change the clock on my computer, I can make the clock count reach zero. Oh, luckier me, to have the material already!

Perhaps because they realized this flaw, the creators of the site have added a new line on the bottom of the page, which now pinpoints an exact moment based on New York time: "WE WILL LAUNCH EARLIER, TUNE IN ON SEPTEMBER 24, 2014 AT 12AM EST."
