Some of the video clips that flashed across the MSG Sphere’s 366-foot outdoor screen — a flashing eye, a basketball, the moon — were unbelievable. Considering how many millions of social media users have proven willing to believe anything, it’s no surprise how many fake Sphere screens have tried to capitalize on this disappointing fact.

A video posted on Twitter last week, showing the Israeli flag, was exposed as fake the next day by Sphere itself, but not until it received hundreds of thousands of likes and shares. Even the media fell in love with her, including… Breaking News Network and gossip reporter Perez Hilton, both of whom have yet to delete the posts.

Don’t believe everything that’s going on around you

The original poster for the Israeli video was a Twitter account called “Tallywood,” which is owned by Tal Cooperman, a visual effects artist who works as executive creative director for Station Casinos. The Israeli citizen appears to have created the video not as intentional disinformation, but as a way to show solidarity with the festival-goers who were attacked, killed, and held hostage by Hamas on October 7.

Regardless, intentionally faking Sphere videos has become a reality. Not only Tiktok has it “Fake or real Vegas domain?” Category, but someone invented it Tik Tok filter Which places users’ faces directly onto the Exosphere, although its results don’t look very realistic.

Here are some of the most convincing — and entertaining — Sphere fakes to date. Hopefully you haven’t shared any of them already. If you haven’t done so yet, please don’t start.

Windows error message

First shared in early June, a month before Sphere opened, this image purports to show Sphere displaying a Microsoft Windows error message, also known as the “blue screen of death,” instructing the operator that the computer needs to reboot. It is unfortunate that the Sphere programmers did not think of this themselves. This could have been a hysterical April Fools’ prank. (Image: Twitter)

no Max height

Anyone who confuses this photo with Max Headroom, New Coke’s spokesperson in the mid-1980s, has completely missed this fake Sphere message to the Las Vegas casino industry. This is actually the cybercriminal who, Disguised as height, The signals of two Chicago television stations were hacked — for 17 seconds and 90 seconds — on the night of November 22, 1987.
