The Anti-Christ might use the "holograms" http://www.fortsanders.net/node/527 <p>I thought cnn's "holograms" (video <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=thOxW19vsTg">here</a>) were dumb, cheesy, and pointless, but I didn't realize how sinister they were.

Now...how would one bring it to life (outside of just speaking)?</p> <p><br /> <a href="http://anonym.to/?http://www.rr-bb.com/showthread.php?t=66411#post863561"><br /> <blockquote>My son sent me this about a week or so ago. He says his office also has Cisco Telepersentation but not to this extent.<br /> Cisco can do this now, and I bet CNN latched onto their technology. Yes, soon the AC's image really can be broadcast around the world. I am awestruck to still be here to have a glimpse of this technology and now understand how it will be after we're raptured.</blockquote></a></p> <p><br /> From the same thread:</p> <blockquote><p>Well the frightening thing is that AC will have this technology at his disposal to perform false miracles, such as projecting his image into the sky so that people think he's floating, or making himself appear to walk on water. Granted this technology requires a lot of equipment to record and project the image, so he can't do it just anywhere. But think about this, all he has to do is project his image into the sky (or onto the water) in one location before an adoring crowd, then simply televise that to the rest of the world. What a perfect way to trick the unbelievers into thinking he's the Messiah. <b>People will believe anything in those times, he'll have little difficulty deceiving most of them.</b></p></blockquote> <p> emphasis mine.</p> <blockquote><p>They've also done experiments where they projected images of Jesus, Buddha, and other religious figures in the sky using the same technology. (By "they" I mean the government, not CNN).</p></blockquote> <p>to their credit, at least some of the posters there realize it's a video effect.</p> <p><a href="http://fortsanders.net/files/starwarsholo.jpg">see</a> <a href="http://fortsanders.net/files/CNN_hologram.jpg">also</a><br /> <a href="http://www.poe-news.com/forums/sp.php?pi=1001864071">via</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.fortsanders.net/node/527" target="_blank">read more</a></p> http://www.fortsanders.net/node/527#comments apocalypse crazy fundies people are dumb rapture religion stupid television wtf Thu, 06 Nov 2008 23:55:04 +0000 bartley 527 at http://www.fortsanders.net Japanese "We Are The World" http://www.fortsanders.net/node/337 <p>My personal favorite is Japanese Stevie Wonder</p> <object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/36w-CyqCO1A" /><param name="wmode" value="transparent" /><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/36w-CyqCO1A" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object> http://www.fortsanders.net/node/337#comments celebrity Japanese television Sat, 08 Mar 2008 01:01:57 +0000 aburd 337 at http://www.fortsanders.net David Simon/The Wire Linkdump http://www.fortsanders.net/node/192 <ul> <li><a href="http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2007/10/22/071022fa_fact_talbot?currentPage=1">Stealing Life</a> a long New Yorker piece on David Simon </li><li><a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2007/08/19/fashion/weddings/19VOWS.html?ref=style">New York Times piece on the marriage Donnie Andrews and Fran Boyd <li><a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/09/02/AR2007090201454.html">Down to 'The Wire': It's a Wrap for Gritty TV Series</a> </li><li><a href="http://undercoverblackman.blogspot.com/2007/01/q-david-simon-pt-1.html">an interview with David Simon by David Mills</a>, a writer for the Wire, the Corner, and one of the best episodes of Homicide.
