My friend was just here like an hour ago talking about this!
That's a freakin' sweet zebra.
I think that's up for debate.Quote:

I think you finding this debatable is debatable Crop!
Except you can see something in her hand. I was, of course being facicious, I'm pretty sure it's not The Doctor. It's just a good bit of accidental intrigue.Quote:

Not only is that not a mobile phone...I don't even think that's a real woman.
It's not even clear if that's a woman.
Hey guys, it's really the Penguin! He time traveled to the past to "photobomb" this film!
I can't really tell what that is in his/her hand or if there is anything there. Even if it was a mobile phone, who the hell are you going to call with it back in 1929?
Aliens?Quote:

I think she's trying not to look at that zebra.
Wouldn't that require satellites which didn't exist back then?Quote:

I'm just mad that I'll probably be dead by then. Don't be dicks, time travelers, share your technologies with the past.

Its obviously a eunuch from the future.
I want to know who is staring so intently at the background of Charlie Chaplin movies.
Hmm, a cover up?Quote:

I just wrote a news story about this for my school radio. I personally think she's maybe just holding something besides a cell phone, or covering her face from the cameras. I mean, time traveling, really? Don't think so. Dx
You seem rather sceptical for someone with an avatar of Haruhi
Also It looks like she is acting like she's lost by scratching her head but is just a bad actor at it
Why the hell would you time travel to 1929 for a vacation?Quote:

One of the comments on the YouTube page says that the commenter has seen the full clip and just prior to that bit someone slaps her, which is why she's holding something up to her face and is yelling obscenities.
This is NOT from the movie itself. No one slapped her either. It's a news reel pan shot of the Premier of the movie. There is no acting involved as it's not a scene. Good grief, the sceptical stories about this are as fabricated as the insane time travel ones.
I've no idea what she's doing but I can pretty much tell you that
1. It's not a time traveller.
2. She is not acting
3. It's not a mobile phone
4. She was not slapped.
Ok. Back to reality.

He/She is clearly holding something. The shape of the hand with fingers bend in is not a position of rubbing the face. She/He is definately talking. It is definately 1928.
Beyond that who the smurf knows.
Its Verizon connect advert...."Can you hear me.....Good...."
Verizon, no distance, or time will disrupt your signal....
Seriously though it can be a lot of things..Although it does seems as if she's talking into something... Like sea shell....She could be a nutter bag too..
She's clearly a time traveler with a line to her family in the future. Duh.
Was she cock slapped, Cuch? Maybe thats why her hand and her mobile phone are next to her time-traveling face
Meh, I saw the clip. I really don't think it's a cell phone, I think it's an ear trumpet. I know the guy in the original video said it's NOT an ear trumpet, but how the hell would he know it is or not?
I asked my mom the same question. Her response was "another time traveler." To which I replied that they still didn't have cell phone towers to call each other with.Quote:

The same way it was powered normally? It wouldn't just stop working because it's in the past. :roll2Quote:

I'm just waiting for someone to make the comment: "But if she was a time traveler, why is she in black and white?"

This is clearly a member of Chaplin's harem. She got out of hand one night and Charlie slapped her, so she has to hold a cold compress to her face all day long.
Clearly holding something? She could be itching her damn ear lobe for all I can deal with this blurry picture.Quote:

I only saw blackness in its hand.

Saw this on Geekalogie. I thought it was pretty smashing.
This by far the most logical explanation....Quote:

So.... I guess Naomi was right after all. :holmes:

Who was she talking to though? There was no one near the daft bint
Anyway they're saying she's usung this device;

This thread is making me laugh so hard my sides hurt.
I agree with the time traveler theory because it is the most appealing to me.
Actually... We can start a fun game in this thread. Come up with what was she saying (if she was a time traveler, what would she be saying ?)
I'll start

FYI: Cracked.com is awesome!
epic debate peoples. Maybe a poll should be started?
The strangest part is at the end, when her fingers move slightly as if she's scratching her head. WHILST HOLDING A MOBILE PHONE, OF COURSE!
I feel I should point out that travelling back through time is literally impossible. Sorry guys. :(
Nothing is impossible, especially not literally, if you follow your heart. Believe, Quin-Quin, believe, and you will discover the secrets of the universe.Quote:

Like Shaq couldn't just knock it over then. :roll2
More importantly, this is 1929? What is a woman doing out on the streets and not in a kitchen?
