    I want to watch that video.

    When I was a kid, there was a black and white magazine sold in stores that had articles about bigfoot, and elvis being alive, and all this other absurd bullshit. I knew it was all fake, but thats why I loved it. It was absurdism for the sake of unintentional comedy.

    This would be the modern day version of that.

      Oh my god......I wonder if I could find someone selling a collection on ebay. This is ABSOLUTELY it.

      My mom would never buy it. She kept telling me how it was fake. Yeah. I know. I wasn't trying to buy actual news. I wanted crazy shit.

      I bet SOMEONE is selling these.

        They release the tape

        Epstein sits alone on the bed in his cell wearing a fancy golf shirt and jeans, the standard prison uniform, according to the FBI

        He reaches for a burlap rope from his Acme toolbox with all three of his arms.

        As he ties the rope around his neck, his face slowly appears to morph into different actors from royalty-free stock videos.

        Once he secured the leather belt around his neck, the couch he was sitting on vanished underneath him, concluding his demise.

        Several minutes later, the guards burst through the door to Mr JEFPY ESTÆN's cell. They realize they are too late and conga line dance out of the prison.

        Acme toolbox

        I would've figured the rope was either a stretchy rope or it came with a rickety stool that catapults itself into the ceiling after being stood on.

              Not likely, it's too easy to distinguish from the real thing. Staging the same cell and manipulating the timestamps in the video is much easier.

                  This is what chain of custody is for. Without documentation of origin and history of the videos, they are worthless and prove nothing.

                    I miss this kind of conspiracy theory/crazy subculture. Innocent and fun.

                    Like Bigfoot isn’t real, but I would be happy if he was. Bigfoot still lets you be around the kinds of people who are far off the beaten path, but you don’t get the disgusting racism/sexism/harmful insanity that we’re getting with the current lot of crazies.

                      It was at least kinder, humorous and creative. The National Enquirer which is packed with made up stuff designed to hurt and exploit people.

                        Doesn't mean that "top officials" won't make press announcements that they prove all sorts of things.

                          ...if there's one thing bob and doug mckenzie taught me, it's that time stamps are very difficult to fake...
