Sorry, but incorrect. If that's the case, then we have a lot of vids to start duping....

Wow, really, CNN?

because logic dictates those are the only 2 options.

I will gladly defer to your assessment.

However, it may be that there may indeed be, as you say, some to many videos here that should be called so. May I ask, what does this one add to the other vid indicated? No real elucidation about the video or situation promulgated by it, was there? Certainly, there was no additional video content.

In either case, I appreciate your position and the manner in which you presented it.

Oh heck, *discuss

Is this or is this not. I know there has been a fair number of such discussions on this lately and I don't wish to belabor, but...?

This video is being sent to Sift Talk for discussion - discuss requested by chicchorea.

I say no. There is added depth to this by both the commentary and the zoom. Not really a dupe, but close. Could be a good idea to link the two together in the descriptions or something.

Think of it this way, would you replace one with the other if it were dead? I would not.

Interesting point...acid test...thank you.

I quote myself from the original original submission, http://videosift.com/video/Chaplin-s-Time-Traveler


Just because it hasn't been posted yet, 50,000 people spending 3 mins on Youtube beats 100 people spending 1 hour.

"It was a hearing aid device native to the 1920's.

If it's a cellphone...who's she talking to? Do carries work across time? Also she took great pains to change her dress but she forgot that maybe she shouldn't be talking on the magical device that houses demons in it?

I'm sorry but I cannot accept this...Good Day!

Fuck CNN.

I upvote for the a-grade stupidness of this ever getting as far as the news.

a) As said above, and as I immediately thought, who the crap would that person be talking to on a mobile phone in 1920... not a lot of cell towers back then
b) Looks a lot like one of those hearing aids shown above
&
c) How the crap can something so vague ever cause any sort of REAL discussion? My other thought initially, along with the 'who would she be talking to' one, was why can't she just be holding her hand up to her head, it's not actually clear she's holding anything, that's how nondescript and stupid this thing is.

And on top of that we have just fluff 'reporting' where they have made NO EFFORT at all to actually LOOK INTO THIS, they just put shit on the air to fill time.

Horrible stuff all around.

That people would ever watch this and say 'THE ONLY POSSIBLE EXPLANATION IS THAT SHE IS A TIME TRAVELLER TALKING ON A PHONE THAT CANNOT POSSIBLY WORK BACK THEN' is scary.

I weep for intelligence lost.

it's obviously real. Isn't it obvious that time travelers would use phones that look like they are the size of phones from the nineties. When they weren't as big as a brick anymore, but still not quite pocket-sized

OH MY GOD SHE HAS HER HAND TO HER EAR....

I feel dumber having watched this.

Well I hope she turned off the trans-time-roaming option. Fucking ATT RAPES you on the roaming charges across time... fucking iPhone 12...

^In the future, 78% percent of all phones will be human hands.

talk about roaming fees.

Is the terminal velocity for a cellphone above 88mph?

WHY WHY WHY WHY IS THIS ON CNN?!?!

Clearly, it's a CIA agent sent back in time from Reagan's 80's administration to embulster the right-wing extremist new world order that we are living in now; a consequence of this exact incidence!! AHHHH!

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

On the Internet (and apparently CNN) Occam's Razor has no power.

It is a seashell from nearby shop. The shop was 60ish feet from where this was filmed. This has been debunked for a while now. If you look close you can see the swirl pattern near her ring finger, but you have to be quick.

the real question is, what r they trying to divert our attention from with this nonsense..

Anyone who believes that this person is talking on a cellphone in 1928 or is a time-traveler or anything like that is beyond help. There is some logical explanation for why they are walking and talking like that, even if the answer is there is no clear reason why they are behaving that way. Or else it's a digital hoax.

I can only hope that most people are playing along with the usual light-hearted whimsical time filler that news organizations throw in to the mix, rather than thinking that this is a actually an indication of anything supernatural. It's only a crazy loon talking to their hand in an old movie and somehow didn't end up on the cutting room floor.

BTW, my toast popped up this morning with an image of the Virgin Mary.

Yeah? Well mine popped up with an image of Jesus!
