fwiw, his list of "major sites" that got fooled is rather misleading and sketchy in its own way:

"yahoo" - syndicated content

"cnet" - (UK) cnet.co.uk's crave blog

"gizmodo" - (UK) gizmodo.co.uk

not saying that you couldn't fool major sites, but this is a misrepresentative. You say "Gizmodo' without qualification, people expect you mean Gizmodo.com -- Not Gizmodo.co.uk. But hey, anything for a headline/clicks/press, right?

Edit: It should also be noted that most of the sites listed are not gaming sites despite his tirade against gaming journalists
