There are many hoax versions of Last Measure, such as a [[Glory Hole Foundation]] variant and HTML5 version. The [[Glory Hole Foundation]] variant would supposedly "contain all images from the [[Offended]] page" and "install actual malware in a version of the [[wikipedia:MEMZ|MEMZ]] virus with shock images",<ref>bjaodn.org/wiki/Shock_site#Glory_Hole_Foundation_Last_Measure_Edition</ref> while the HTML5 version would "abuse JavaScript[,] making it very hard to leave the website once [visited]" and "[make] it impossible to even shut down the computer or use [T]ask [M]anager to kill the...web browser" with the keywords on the page relating to Last Measure, [[wikipedia:Feminism|feminism]], the [[wikipedia:LGBT|LGBT community]], [[wikipedia:Steven_Universe|''Steven Universe'']], and ''[[wikipedia:Homestuck|Homestuck]]'' as an attempt to get the webpage listed under Google and specifically fool [[wikipedia:Tumblr|Tumblr]] users.<ref>bjaodn.org/wiki/Shock_site#Last_Measure_HTML5_beta</ref>

Soft Measure was a variant of Last Measure created by [[wikipedia:Sam_Hocevar|Sam Hocevar]]. It reuses the same scripts found in other Last Measure variants, such as the clipboard retrieval script, but replaces all the shock images with images of stuffed animals. The page also contained ASCII art of a teddy bear accompanied by the text "SOFT MEASURE". The "HEY EVERYBODY, I'M LOOKING AT GAY PORNO!" voice clip is replaced with a voice clip of a man saying "Hey, with American Online, I can just point, and click!".<ref>The voice clip is an excerpt from computerpranks.com/media/default.cfm?ItemID=210.</ref>

===Seizure Measure===
Seizure Measure, also known as Browser Bomb, used the same window-spawning and window-moving protocol as the original Last Measure, but embedded a [[Adobe Flash Player|Flash]] file called rgb.swf which contained music and bright flashing colors. The title of the page was “you have violated internet law. the authorities are being contacted.” and pressing Alt+F4, Ctrl, or Del spawned an alert with the message “You have violated Internet Law. The authorities are being contacted.”.
