Is this is an actual screencap from G5?  Impressive. It'd be a pretty fast turnaround, given animation lead-time. Chris' arrest was barely ten months ago. If it's homebrew, equally as impressive.  Seamless edit,  and they've got the empty eyes and sullen sneer spot-on.



 It seems, for just over two months now, Chris(tine) has been at an "undisclosed location", which is a nice way of saying (possibly) in the booby hatch.

Yes that was an actual screen cap.  From months ago.

This is pretty funny and it even comes from a funny source, the Huffington Post.

Is it the legendary Chupacbra?  Some people having fun with a prank?  A FURRY?  This mysterious being was caught on an Amarillo, Texas security camera!

Already people seem to conclude it's a fake with some editing being done.  But check it out.

Entire Florida town put into quarantine due to the finding of a giant African land snail.

Maybe not stupid, but certainly weird.

Never thought we'd see news like this...

Democrat Senate Hopeful John Fetterman Uses ‘Simpsons’ Clips To Undermine Republican Dr. Oz’s Campaign, But Without Permission From Disney

Article

"Pennsylvania Senate hopeful John Fetterman has enlisted the help of a popular Simpsons character in his latest political attack ad against opponent and tv personality Mehmet Oz, in which he unfavorably compares Oz to Dr. Nick Riviera, a snake-oil salesman and charlatan on The Simpsons.

Fetterman’s ad was tweeted out by his verified account and quickly pinned to the top of its feed.


The way Fetterman uses copyrighted content in the ad feels like a very modern play in a very old game. One can’t help but wonder about the legality of using the scenes from The Simpsons in such a way. Sources close to the situation have said that Fetterman didn’t reach out to Disney to ask to use the character. So, why hasn’t Disney had the video taken down? The video was posted more than 20 hours ago (at time of writing) and Youtube strikes have certainly been issued much faster and for less in the past.

And what rights to artists have to refuse the use of their creations by politicians? For years, musicians have been demanding that politicians not use their songs while campaigning. What kinds of rights do visual artists have in protecting the use of their original creations?

If, however, this type of use is protected and legal fair use, might we see similar strategies used in the future? Will Spongebob and the Minions start promoting political causes without authorization from their IP owners? Certainly the comparisons between animated characters and real-life politicians don’t start and end with Dr. Oz and Dr. Nick."

I think people are upset not because of copyright issues, but because Dr. Nick is a foreigner, and it comes off as very xenophobic/racist.  It would be like using Apu to mock Dr. Sanjay Gupta (who is a joke, but certainly not owing to his ethnicity), or Bruce the Performance Artist from Family Guy to represent a LGBT-XYZPDQ candidate. "Oh, noooooooooo-ooooooooooooo."

Well, all right-- I'll give 'em something to look at.

I also do that to my computer every once in a while, in case the Russians or Chinese are spying at me through my webcam.    ::| ;D

Oh no.... I can't imagine his Grandma is living on her own anymore.  She is probably institutionalized and I would assume Chris will be too.  He can't live on his own.

I'm bringing this back up again.  A break down video of Chris' arrest.  Cops couldn't believe his weird sicko following was real.
