An amazing amount of work and cleverness went into it, but those characters still look like creepy sadness robots. It would have been so much better to just use lookalikes like they did with Mon Mothma.

Thats not Robert Kraft, thats a cheap Donald Trump lookalike

My guess is that any effort to help Assange escape would constitute "aiding and abetting" or "conspiracy to ..." something. At the very least, they would be interfering with police duties, so all those people could get legally arrested on the spot.>> ^seltar:

Hire a flashmob / lookalikes to dress like him and show up outside, let Assange blend in with them, and then disperse in all directions!

That could work. The thing about how that could work as well would be as soon as he's away from the place of focus, he has a much greater chance of getting away. The problem would be of course if the police are tipped off and surround and block off the streets, detaining EVERYONE in the process. So you'd have to do this during maybe a high traffic hour...maybe with a lot of people who aren't afraid of giving the cops are hard time because they might have to charge them or something.

It could work, but there's a significant risk involved of bodily injury, so I don't know. The other thing would be sensory overload which is possibly a dangerous alternative. Set up a call center and start calling emergency services, bombarding them until it draws police away or at least harms communication and confuses them. The problem with that is obviously if there's a real emergency during that time, that person could be in real trouble.

Oh yes! I would love to see some classy, clever spy stuff like this. I bet MI6 has the whole place bugged though.>> ^Deano:
I'm thinking of the end of The Thomas Crown Affair with Pierce Brosnan. Have a load of Assange lookalikes turn up and swarm the area, make several hoax "omg I saw a terrorist" calls and in the confusion Assange walks out disguised as a black guy (I saw that in Silver Streak with Gene Wilder).


That's my thought also.
With bugs everywhere, satellites, and CCTV cameras on every corner (to keep citizens "safe"). There is little chance an old style clock and dagger escape would work.


Some of the ideas aren't bad though...the thing is if they get tons of information you can use it against them until they don't trust the information they're getting. Also if push came to shove they would lock down the airport until they got a handle on the situation. The best thing they could do is distract like they're going to the airport and go to a small airport to charter a small plane to another nation who wouldn't turn him over, or at least to Europe where he could more easily disappear. Or maybe even use a boat to get to Europe. Just simply cover of darkness changing your hair sort of stuff could work and with communication and GPS these days he could be picked up and moved really efficiently.

I really wish I was a part of the group trying to get him out though, that would be soo much fun.

Another problem might be that being disguised as a black person doesn't reduce your chances of arrest...

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

I used to be a smartass doctor who lookalike midget like him, but then I took... a hairdrier....to the knee?

Yep. Amazing, yeah?

I was hoping it was going to be this interview: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpM0wPKBOro

Still an upvote from me though. Idra is my on and off love/hate idol. Its funny because not so long ago he wasn't really viewed as this badass. He was just some Harry Potter lookalike with an attitude problem that lost to every single Korean. Ahh BroodWar I do miss thee so.

like this. Sounds like a classic conversion. Paul from the bible would understand this guy.
This is classic evangelical material. If you don't like this, you would hate Billy Graham. (or any evangelical video)


>> ^GenjiKilpatrick:
The only book that refers to Jesus of Nazareth more than the New Testament is the Quran.
Jesus is the second most beloved prophet in all of Islam.


That's true, but it also denies Christs divinity and says that a lookalike took his place on the cross and he didn't really die. That alone makes it an antichrist religion, by definition. Not to mention the fact that they don't follow anything He said..so, I would say if they really loved Him they would follow Him.

They also believe He is coming back and not muhammed, which in itself is strange, but they also say when He comes back He will die. It's all messed up. I'm happy they like Jesus but it's not going to do them any good.
