Let's face it,Watch Deadly Pickup (2016) full movie this was always too good to be true.
A remarkable video of a hawk flying around, picking up a snake, then dropping onto a family barbeque has gone viral since it was released Tuesday morning.
SEE ALSO: A company tried to fool the internet with fake viral videos for 2 yearsWell, guess what? It's a complete fake. The campaign, now dubbed "Embrace the hunt" was orchestrated by Australian rules football club, Hawthorn, to help launch its Australian Football League (AFL) finals campaign. The club came clean on Thursday afternoon.

But the results are pretty telling. Not only did a host of media outlets across television and online share it (not Mashablethough *wink*), but the YouTube video itself has attracted more than 200,000 views, with Hawthorn claiming a total of 5 million views were accumulated in the 48 hours after the video was posted.
"It was quite incredible," said a Hawthorn spokesperson in a statement. "We wanted everyone to know that it's September and the Hawks are on the attack and hopefully we've succeeded."

"Our aim was to create a real buzz around the launch of our seventh consecutive finals campaign and really get people talking. The debate over its authenticity has been had by various media outlets across both Australia and the globe.
"Hopefully we haven’t scared too many people off a BBQ by the Yarra."
The Huffington Posttried to verify the video with a so-called Douglas Wong, the name of a person behind the YouTube account that originally posted the video. It was assured it was "real footage" but suitably, the ploy didn't impress.
"Doing a viral stunt is fine, but legit lying?" The Huffington Post'sJosh Butler said in a tweet on Thursday afternoon.

It's interesting to note the video has a nod to it's own campaign for Hawthorn.
Around 28 seconds in, there is a blue portable cooler that has a Geelong Cats sticker on it. That's because the Geelong Cats play Hawthorn in the first round of the AFL Finals on Sep. 9.

*Mashable Australiahave contacted The Woolshed for comment.
