Of course, I wanted to believe it was true. Unappreciated worker with morally-lite boss in a despised industry. What's not to like?

The lighting was too good though. Specifically, it looked like there was a tripod, a well-calibrated fill-flash and an additional, off-center light source.

Clearly, not impossible for a person and a timer to do, but it began to hit the limits of plausibility.

I called this as a hoax from the beginning, but for different reasons (yours are good, too).

She calls out the boss for playing Farmville all day. Yet Farmville is a Facebook app, running inside FB. So all she would know is that he spends all day in FB, not specifically what he's doing there.

My clue was that she didn't show any percentage of his time being spent watching porn. It's inconceivable to me that an obviously straight, sexist man (HOPA remark) would spend all that time playing Farmville and none watching porn.
