Yeah, special effects and the death coverup....special effects are good but not -that- good. And reddit, Fark (lots of scientists on Fark I've noticed, myself included. Some of the biology discussions get -intense-) and tumblr and just....social media is gonna make the coverup a lot harder. Might be easier to go "Look! Frickens are a thing!" and hope that distracts people? Maybe not. But the tailypo is out of the bag, so to speak.
