Faceless 'aliens' spotted in crowd at Wimbledon

Faceless 'aliens' spotted in crowd at Wimbledon


By Alex Millson


With the blankest of blank expressions on their faces, these mysterious figures have been popping up in the most unlikely of places.


The faceless mutants have a penchant for A-list celebrity bashes and have been spotted at Elton John's White tie ball and Harrods summer sale, opened by Sex and the City star Kim Cattrall.


With a membrane of skin stretched tightly over their eyes, noses and mouths, the alien-like figures were most recently snapped 'watching' a match perched on Murray Mount at Wimbledon.



Eerie: The faceless figures watch a spot of Wimbledon on Murray Mount.





Court on camera: The pair sit in on a match, where most of the crowd are too absorbed by the game to notice them.


Close inspection of the pictures rules out an alien invasion - small perforations around the eye areas of the masks allow the people beneath to see the world outside.


But nobody knows who the faceless figures, who often appear as motionless couples are, or why they are turning up at high profile events.


Theories include the possibilities that they are limelight-seeking pranksters, performance artists or that they are at the centre of a viral marketing campaign for an as-yet unknown product of forthcoming horror film.



Another faceless couple stand in the crowd at the start of Harrods summer sale.




Craning his neck - but he won't see anything with skin stretched over his features.


Speculation has even arisen that the masks hide a pair of well-know faces, fed up with being harrassed by the paparazzi.


One blogger wrote on the Moue Magazine website: "They probably aren’t just random people off of the street.


"If it ends up being a pair of celebrities who have had it with being photographed all of the time and are staging a protest, I vow to support every project they appear on from now on.
"Whatever their purpose, I want to join them. And I have a new Halloween costume for this year."


Chauffeur: This faceless figure even has his own driver, fuelling speculation that the man behind the mask may be a celebrity himself.



Close-up: Eye holes in the spooky mask allows the wearer to see what is going on around him.

It's one of those classic modern-dilemmas/ down-the-pub questions really isn't it?
"Would you call the police if you found videos of your Mum having sex with a dog?"

Niiiiiice.

From here:

The Oklahoman
TULSA — A woman who was charged with committing felony crimes against nature was arrested this morning after police were notified of more than 150 homemade movies of the Tulsa County woman engaging in various sex acts with dogs.

Donald Roy Seigfried, 55 and Diane Sue Whalen, 54, were charged with the crime, which deals with bestiality.

Whalen, 54, was arrested this morning and booked into the Tulsa County Jail.

Seigfried, whom police describe as her partner in the movie productions, was arrested and released on a $10,000 bond Tuesday.

Authorities were notified of the tapes after Whalen’s son accidentally stumbled onto one of the movies and then alerted the sheriff's department.

The tapes, along with three dogs -- a Labrador, a blue heeler and a mixed breed -- were also taken into custody. Bowman said his office is recommending that they be taken away from the suspects and be put down.
I have to admit this seems harsh though.

I agree it's unfair to the dogs, but what realistically can happen to them? No one will knowingly adopt a dog that has effectively been trained to perform sex acts. So either they don't tell, which would probably get them sued, or they just keep the dogs forever at a shelter where they are already putting down animals every day for lack of space.

I think there is a difference between being coerced into sex acts and being "trained" to do them.

That article makes me sick. Seriously.

I would adopt one! I am looking for a good dog, abused or not. I don't have to worry about a dog trying to hump my kid because I don't have any. If one is actually "trained" to do such things, it can be "trained" not to.

I would support putting the people down, and also support leaving the dogs alone. They've been messed with enough. That will be quite enough. I actually went to pet finder and found the Humane Society Tulsa page. The blue heeler listed looks like a good dog as far as I can tell.

Aaah. I think I'm pet sensitive or something. I have compassion for those dogs right now. If they were here I might actually request one, as this situation makes me sad, and I am already dog shopping. Abused animals can be really good pets. Things just didn't go right for them at first.

We don't put people down for being abused like that. Why treat dogs that way? All you have to do is tell people the odd behaviors of the abused animal before they adopt so they know what they are in for, and can make an informed decision, whether they want to deal with it or not. You don't have to say that the dog was coerced into sex, saying highly abused, exhibits these behaviors: a,b,c, would work. I'm kind of doubting that the dogs exhibit abnormal behavior (outside of signs of abuse that can be overcome) in the first place.

*Hey! Get down!Get off my leg! Bad dog!* That would probably be sufficient.

Well, I am doggy shopping, and I know whatever dog I get will be at least old enough to have been through one thing or the other already, whether I know of the thing or not. I am looking for a good dog at least 6 months old, and I don't think a human humping would effect my decision, as long as I could tell that it is a good dog. I'm stubborn though. I wouldn't even want to know about that really. If it has really bad behaviors, I would want to know. And that's what I usually ask about: the good behaviors and the bad behaviors.

I understand and agree it would be practically impossible to rehome them.
Which is why I didn't say it was disgusting, let's call PETA, let's petition the sheriff's office etc etc.

It's just unfair on the dogs, and a shame.
Still - they lived a good life in dog terms

Oh shit imagine the son's tormented memories for the rest of his fucking life:
"Hey Mom, can I have a sip of your soda/ bite of your sandwich?"
etc.etc. "did she just blow the dog before she kissed me goodnight?"
Some therapist is already shopping for his new maserati.

OMG what if they just adopted the sex-dogs without warning the new owners?

Manhattenhenge

For Manhattan, a place where evening matters more than morning, that special day comes on Thursday, May 29h this year, one of only two occasions when the Sun sets in exact alignment with the Manhattan grid, fully illuminating every single cross-street for the last fifteen minutes of daylight. The other day is Saturday, July 12th. These two days give you a photogenic view with half the Sun above and half the Sun below the horizon -- on the grid. The day after May 29th (Friday, May 30th), and the day before July 12 (Friday, July 11) will also give you Manhattanhenge moments, but instead you will see the entire ball of the Sun on the horizon -- on the grid. My personal preference is the half-Sun
