It's Not Ghostbusters 3...It's A French Car Commercial

Sometimes when you go searching for information on the Internet you get duped. For every fact on the net, there are at least a dozen lies. Such is the case of a blog that was created by someone called "Ghostspy." Now, even though the mystery blogger never came out and said so directly, he lead a lot of people into believing that he was working on the set of "Ghostbusters 3."

When the blog first started, the mystery blogger posted this statement: "Yes, they are shooting it already. And yes, I am part of the crew. And no, I won’t tell any details. Because if I do and they find out, they will kill me. That’s why my little friend here (a camera) will do the talking. Stay tuned for more …"

That statement, plus the "Ghostbusters" logo included in the title of the site, lead to the speculation that indeed this individual was somehow working on the set of the third "Ghostbusters" movie.

For the past couple of months the blogger has been posting Youtube videos shot with a concealed spy camera on the set along with production drawings of uniforms and a giant monster made out of car parts.

Well now the truth has finally been revealed. Yes, ladies and gentleman. it was all a publicity stunt.

You see, our mystery blogger wasn't working on the set of "Ghostbusters 3" at all. What he was really working on was a "Ghostbusters" themed car commercial for the French auto maker Citreon.

That's right! A car add.

In the clip, three French "Ghostbusters" come to save the city from the giant "Car Parts Monster." After the creature gets 'zapped', it comes apart, and all the pieces go into the vehicles 'roomy' hatch-back.

Sorry fans, we all get fooled sometimes.

Oh, and before I forget, we haven't heard the last of "Ghostspy". Here is the final post from his blog:

"Oh, and by the way: I’m out. I applied as a runner for a film production company. I think they are shooting some huge blockbuster movie! And I will definitely take my camera. So, maybe I’ll see you around …"

I wonder if we will be tricked into thinking some juice commercial is the new "Star Trek" movie?
