Ten years later, as a new April Fools Joke, a fan-made mashup album was released under the same title. It was posted to Bandcamp and archive.org.
=="Down In It" music videoincident==
To film the shots of lifeless Reznor in the "[[Down In It (song)|Down In It]]" music video, he was covered with cornstarch to create the illusion of decay and cameras were tied to heavy-duty balloons that were tied down. During the filming of these scenes, one of the balloons broke free and took the camera with it, drifting some 200 miles before being found by a farmer in Michigan. The camera was turned over to local police who, upon seeing the raw video footage, assumed it was a snuff film and the FBI was called in to investigate. The incident was even reported on ''Hard Copy'' and recalled in an interview for ''SPIN'' magazine.
In 1995, a fan created a parody site claiming to be Reznor's homepage. It was called "Reznor's Edge" and was also the source of the fake rumor from 1997 that the follow-up to ''[[The Downward Spiral (halo)|The Downward Spiral]]'' was already completed and would be titled ''Impossible Pain''.
=="Dive And Slam"==
In 2016, prior to the release of ''[[Not The Actual Events]]'', a new NIN single was rumored, with the title "Dive And Slam". The information was sourced from someone claiming to have seen it on a Kobalt Music Group internal database, even posting a screen shot as proof. The single was debunked by Reznor on Twitter.

===Saigon 1995 recording===
Another ''Watchmen'' score universe joke came in the form of a fake recording of a 1995 "The Nine Inch Nails" show in Saigon, which was "surfaced" and posted to ninlive.com. This was a reference to the storyline of "The Nine Inch Nails" as told in the liner notes of ''The Manhattan Project'' vinyl, with the Saigon show being the last show ever performed. The recording was a file of pure noise, but also contained a folder with a real soundboard recording of the [[2005/12/10_Los_Angeles,_CA|Almost Acoustic Christmas 2005show]] show as a consolation.
