Is It All Fake?

The subject of this posting is not political

I'm old.

Maybe, some of the readers can remember when TV commercials featured real people (that you knew) promoting and endorsing products and services. When shows had the disclaimer, "No animals were harmed in the making of this show?"

Fast-forward to today where, we have the technology to manipulate what you see on the screen via Computer Generated Imagery. There is no need for disclaimers because the Moose tangled up in the swing set isn't real, the squirrels in the trees are not real and, the Bulls running through the street in the insurance commercials aren't really "there".


CGI is used in commercials to make cars do tricks or appear to perform "Ballet" moves but, a disclaimer is flashed, "Do Not Try This At Home, Skilled Drivers on a close course!" What should be stated is, "This isn't real; never accept anything you see at face-value."

In the same manner the Orsen Wells manipulated the thoughts of the listening audience on the radio with "War of the Worlds", television shows, commercials and news broadcast are guilty of the same things.

17 years later, can you really trust the images you thought you saw on 9/11/2001?

FDNY and NYPD might have a thing or two to say about that.

No disputing the effects, just wondering about what was shown as the cause.

The cause is discussed in my sig line.

I question what my eyes saw on television that morning in the same manner that I question the Farmers Insurance Company commercials.

I remember what I saw that morning and I remember what was replayed later. I remember what was said and I remember what was changed from what was said.
Enough was made different, subtly that it appeared as though the timeline was changed from the day before.

Why are you asking here? You know what happened. What is it exactly that you wish to accomplish by opening up a discussion here?

That is why I take the green ones.

This is more entertaining than my cannabis fueled debates on existentialism.
