This website, at first glance looks like a real, actual hospital where they treat real, actual patients. It’s got fancy graphics on the homepage, and a section titled “Hospital News.” To the passing, unobservant eye it looks like just another hospital. But then you click on the “About Us” link and it becomes very obvious very fast that there is no way this is a real hospital. On this page it says, “At RYT, medical possibilities become medical breakthroughs. From the first human male pregnancy to the first successful medical application of nanotechnology, RYT Hospital-Dwayne Medical Center has dramatically advanced the art, science, and technology of medicine.” Last time I checked, male pregnancy is still impossible, as is nanotechnology, but no one would see this part at first glance. I guess it’s amazing what a fancy website can do to convince people.
