Doh!:eek: I hadn't thought of that. That'd be quite a fetish, getting off on teenaged girls in burkas. :ninja:

Just think of all that sexiness you're not allowed to see! The forbidden fruit is the most tempting...

Could be Jabba The Hut under all that cloth!

That's all? They didn't ask you to perform services for them?

("Mr. Toad, could you run to the store and get us some more beer?")

doesn't really matter what your intention is, though, it seems... I don't take any pix of kids unless mine is one of them or I'm an official chaperone on a field trip.

If you don't take their picture, the terrorists win.:(

I heard that they are filming a movie downtown today. We've got this big parking lot across the street, and they use it for misc stuff besides parking. Sometime film crews store support vehicles there. Today is one of those days

I went out at lunch (no camera) and checked things out. It's the new Transformers movie. There's a big tractor trailer with a flame paint job and a transformers logo on the side, and a couple of cars under tarps, and a whole fleet of "black ops" style government SUVs as typically depicted by Hollywood.

So I came back inside and Googled it to see how long they are in town, and found this clip. Apparently,a real cop car was responding to a suspicious package call and drove right onto a live film set this morning and got hit by one of the star cars of the movie. Hardly a scratch on the cop SUV, but the Bumblebee car looks totaled.

Very nice camera work on the part of the "bystander" He or She leads the main truck in, not wavering much in the pan and not changing the amount of lead, Then ends the move right as the trucks stop, zooms in at just the right moment to get the crash. The whole thing is not only very professional, but for an unrehearsed bit of viral marketing, umm, I mean lucky filming, it was all quite fortuitous.

I especially like the "we need to cover up our secret car so it is a surprise for the movie" touch. It makes me that much more curious to go out and see the movie.

I smell a big fat rat.

I didn't watch past the "hit" before, but watching the way the cop approaches the driver and then jogs off to talk to the other driver in the police car. It all looked pretty Hollywood.

not true. If you don't take their picture, god kills a puppy, which is fine with me :D

and an angel rings a bell.

"I seen the smalley face"

:lol2: More than mildly: monster's usertitle. Clever one!

It'd be a good band name, don't you think? :D

Mr. Clod's gmail address follows the pattern [first initial][relatively common last name], and he ends up getting mis-addressed email meant for other people on a fairly regular basis.
