Check out this joke version of Star Wars:

It's pretty good, technically.

We long ago learned to stop believing still photographs of anything, because our ability to easily digitally doctor them makes them entirely untrustworthy.

Now that videos can be doctored almost as well, I expect to start seeing people proclaim these trick versions of things to be real, and try to build or support political arguments on them.

Just a cautionary note.

I am not sure what you are driving at?

The world is full of people trying either to prove that someone they already hate is inherently "bad," and infested with others who think it is "funny" to make up falsehoods, in order to "yank chains," and get people riled up over things that didn't actually happen.

I'm just putting out an advance warning, to pause if someone claims to have a video recording of some famous person saying something incriminating or otherwise dreadful, and consider that such evidence can now be faked relatively easily.

the fakes aren't often hard to distinguish,, when it comes to videos by random people,,,

voices can be faked when the face or lips are not clearly in view, of course

but a persons actions are harder to fake in a video, for the average internet poster...

Unfortunately Frank the haters will always hate, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary of what they say or post.

Call them whatever, they all pee in the same pot.

Is this about Cosby? And his taped court confessions ? Can I have a copy?

Jk

that's why it's called a Pi$$Pot!

Well we learned after the Benghazi affair that real videos on youtube can be used as propaganda to build and support political arguments or to cover up the weapons transfers to guerrilla forces being used as proxies to overthrow a foreign government.

Shocking... Not

Hillary Clinton - What difference does it make?: http://youtu.be/8INIH0JfNA8/

I think Nostradamus predicted this would happen.

Cosa Nostradamus?

"I foresee a new delusion/propaganda phase..."

This is the politics forum. What else would anyone foresee?

the internet is the venue for the delusioned to vent,,,,as well as others,,

I'm feeling delusional and I knew that it would..
