In 1999, a certain "music" cable channel featured "I'm a Hacker" on their "True Life" series.

A number of hackers were followed around the New York City area (Mantis, Shamrock, and Uglypig) discussing their adventures and, uhhh.. dialing into a BBS.

After the episode aired, one of the filmed hackers (Shamrock) revealed that he intentionally misrepresented his exploits in order to hoax that certain "music" channel. A good review and discussion of this episode took place at H2K.

Also includes an interview with the guys from the L0pht, which is the only decent part of this 20 minute disaster.

"How Did It Happen?" speech from $2600's H2K with Izaac Falken, Tommee Pickles, and Weld Pond:
