LONDON: Fake video footage can dramatically alter people's perceptions of events, even convincing them to testify to a non-event, says a new study.
Kimberley Wade, psychology professor from Warwick University (WU), led an experiment to see whether such faux footage could induce people to accuse another of doing something they never did.
Wade found nearly 50% of those shown fake footage of something they witnessed first hand were prepared to believe the video version rather than what they actually saw.
"Our research shows that if a fake footage is extremely compelling, it can induce people to testify about something they never witnessed," said Wade.
"As a result, almost anyone can create convincing yet fake images or video footage," which Wade attributes to "rapid advances in digital-manipulation technology over the previous decade".

Watch for ACORN to jump on this as a defense.

Hollywood, the SRM and the leftist-educational media brigades have been washing brains for years.
It takes many people a many years of continual betrayal to wake up. And sometimes waking up is frightening - more frightening than continuing the dream.

I tried grilling alien filets once. Maybe it was the marinade I used, but the meat was tough and stringy...kind of like tarpon...

Those taste like crawfish...you just need a lot of Cajun seasoning.

Ah this study had to be a waste of money. All one had to do was either ask if a) they were at Woodstock or b) did they vote for Nixon. Both of those have had revisionists doing a dance for years
