Apparently they think it's an old-fashioned hearing aid. Shame. I was hoping it was Captain Picard in drag. |

That's really weird - if it's a hearing aid, why's she talking into it? I think it's the Devil. |

Great. World's first sighting of a time-traveller, and it's a fucking Hollywood agent. |

Maybe it's a dictaphone.  |

I used a dictaphone once. it's much easier to use your fingers. the other guy really wasn't pleased. |

Judging by her bulk, I can only assume she's wearing some kind of hefty time-travelling vest beneath her coat. We must record this thread for posterity, just in case she accidentally drops a bucket on the little tramp's head and changes the face of comedy forever, in A Sound of Thunder-like fashion. |

She's just hearing about all the fuss about her in 2010. She can't believe it. Retrocausal, of course. |

The most amazing thing about this video is something that nobody has yet commented on. Yes, the woman is a time-traveller using a modern mobile phone, but the gent in front of her has a futuristic hands-free phone which is so small it can't be seen at all! |

The most amazing thing of all is that anyone believes this is anything more genuine than an ad or viral designed for some as yet unclear purpose. I wonder what ringtone was on the phone back in the day, though. Silent movies, would it matter? |

I am very sensitive and disinclined towards these things myself, Mark... but this one, if so ("if" - listen to me!) is so cleverly done, I can only tip my hat to it. |

This might well be a viral. A similar story broke earlier this year. http://forgetomori.com/2010/fortean/time-traveler-caught-in-museum-photo/ |

What is 'a viral'? Are you implying the film is concocted and not really a 1928 footage? |

I haven't looked into the background of this too deeply so it may well be genuine footage (just misinterpreted by our modern sensibility). But my spider-sense tells me to treat anything on YouTube with a modicum of scepticism until proved otherwise. I wouldn't be surprised if a follow-on video is released where the woman is seen waving an i-phone or whatever and asks Chaplin for the lend of his charger. |

I believe the footage was completely faked, staged - but cleverly so! I like that whomever did this, did it subtly, and not in-your-face-ish. The very - forget low-key, it's the non-key taint to it: THAT'S what makes it so compelling.... |
