Sydney: The website of Fox News reportedly went into a funny-scary mode then it started posting stories with headlines claiming `World Zombie Day` to bring out the living dead and Apple unveiling a `Maverick Sea Lion`, after what was revealed as an internal error.
The news outlet`s homepage accidentally displayed numerous fake but funny headlines in the US after accidentally turning live a homepage prototype.
According to the Sydney Morning Herald, initially many believed it to be a hack-attack.
Initially, many believed Fox News` website had been hacked.
The glitch continued for about half an hour and the main story on the homepage carried `Weeeeeeee` for its headline and `Stuff yo` for the story description.

By then, the Twitter world had gone topsy-turvy, with users saying AMC behind the perceived hack.
