Hoax Videos / Re: New video from Lastsevenwords
« on: February 14, 2010, 10:04:45 PM »
I agree with several of the comments about these videos thus far:
1. They are creepy/haunting.
2. They don't (upon a cursory viewing, at least) assert anything that we haven't discussed here on MJDHI.
3. They are creative.
4. They are manipulative (isn't ALL media?).
My beLIEf is that these videos are incredibly sophisticated to be the work of an amateur -- somebody with experience put a LOT of time and effort into them. That, I think, we can assume, right?
This begs the question -- did the creator of these videos make them as part of the hoax....as a means of providing affirmation for much of the work we've done thus far and likely providing us with more clues?
Or...is this someone who simply wants to mess with our minds and show us to be fools?
Either way, a WHOLE lot of effort is being put into it.
Souza, I definitely feel where you're coming from with your skepticism, but I'm not sure that we should dismiss these videos -- we shouldn't be dismissing ANYTHING at this point.
Think about it....if Michael created this elaborate hoax, as we believe, wouldn't it be a multimedia effort? Wouldn't he use YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and every other commonly visited form of internet communication?
If someone thought that we hoax beLIEvers were so pathetic, would he or she go to the lengths LastSevenWords has to deceive us?
Maybe....or maybe not. Only time will tell.
