Using a mobile phone in a Chaplin film?

Currently doing the rounds, what do you make of it?

Of course it'll fit; you just need a bigger hammer.

Yeah, saw it on another forum a few days ago.

People tend to see what they expect to see. Never having used a mobile I didn't automatically assume the person in the video clip was too. Also despite the verbal explanation, I am not convinced the person was holding anything in their hand at all.

Looking around the net some people have very inventive (or twisted!) minds.

In all honesty, I have no idea what it shows. One of the more interesting ideas seems to be that the guy who "discovered" it has tampered with it for publicity purposes.

One of life's little mysteries for now. ;)

I think that 'lady' looks like a man !!

When mobile phones first came out they were huge things - like house bricks!! It certainly appears to be genuine.

The most interesting thing is the fact that Dutchy has never used a mobile phone :shock:
