Ride Johnny, ride....

I'll wait until I hear Techdude's opinion.

If you believe it wasn't Oswald, every year I think you're dumber. If you're old enough to remember it I'll give you a pass on the dumbness though. It was an emotional event at a strange time in our nation's history.

I call upon the power of Fark to answer this question:

What is the origin of the "tell by the pixels" meme?

I heard the RAND Corporation killed Kennedy. In association with the reverse vampires.

Why *would* anyone be photographed like that ?

sendbillmoney: tell by the pixels

It comes from:

ピクセルに知らせる

Delay: sendbillmoney: tell by the pixels

It comes from:

ピクセルに知らせる

That's not a real foreign language. I can tell by the pixels, and I've seen quite a few foreign languages in my time.

I worked with this guy's father, Samir Farid. He's a chemist at the University of Rochester, and the first man to experimentally confirm the Marcus Inverted region. Hany gave a talk on exactly this topic at Kodak a few years ago.

/I know, I know... Cool story, bro

This looks real

PacManDreaming: Ride Johnny, ride....

you gotta suck suck jackie suck

Read Case Closed - it's very interesting. Read The Men Who Killed Kennedy, even more interesting.

Oswald was one of the trigger men, but there was at least one more.

Nope, don't wear a tinfoil hat. Yup, I've read a lot and done some research.

too many loose ends to not think that there was more than one person involved

LewDux: This looks real

I only first saw this recently... So far, I crack up every time.

One could just look at the negatives. Not like they had digital back then

Coming on a Bicycle: Why *would* anyone be photographed like that ?

Made some sense at the time. He lived in the USSR and for a while wanted to remain their permanently.

Why the pamphlets? He returned to the US, and was active in passing out Marx pamphlets. I always assumed those were the papers he was holding.

Why the rifle? He was erratic mentally. Sometimes brandishing weapons goes with the territory.

Hany Farid? Sounds like a muslim with grudge or an anagram of Fairy Hand.

Obviously it's a conspiracy!

Coming on a Bicycle: Why *would* anyone be photographed like that ?

He was a complete nutbag, and complete nutbags don't tend to make a lot of sense.

Case in point:

Just got the Misfits reference - now that song will be playing in my head, all day long

Coming on a Bicycle: Why *would* anyone be photographed like that ?

You would be surprised at the number of people who HAVEN'T had a photograph like that taken of them at some point in their lives.

Most of us just do it sometime during our teen/college years. And with a deer instead of Marxist literature. And an arrow instead of a rifle.

Shopped. Nobody associates "NBC" with "news" any more.

Not sure the exact origin but the meme (This picture is shopped, I can tell from some of the pixels and from having seen quite a few shops in my life) but it pops up when:

1) Pictures that are obviously real (like the Kennedy assassination).

2) Pictures that are obviously fake.

3) Pictures that are hard to tell whether they are shopped or not.

Though I'm all for scientific analysis to combat the nutbags, they found
several alternate takes from the same roll of film which showed conclusively
proved that the picture wasn't doctored.

Same setting, same shirt, same gun, same paper, same everything:



So, this is just Friday filler.

You would have to be a sheep to think that there even was a shooter. Wake up, Kennedy was killed by magic bullets.

Torok - my father was a die hard believer in the lone gunman theory and then I watched Stone's JFK - which is a complete mishmash of fact fiction and conjecture.

He changed his mind after seeing it - and he believed in the official story for a long time.

My uncle - a very smart guy, lawyer, etc - has this theory about the conspiracy "How in the hell did they keep all of those people quite for all this time? Where's the deathbed confession to a legitimate news source?"

He has a point . . .
