I can just see it. Somebody touches Fuddy’s dead body in the casket and says, “Wow. She feels really rubbery!”
Sheesh. How many funerals have you attended? My husband is a pastor; I’m a church organist. Funerals are a huge part of what we do. I’ve been to funerals where I couldn’t even tell it was the same person in the casket - in fact, just about a month ago.
You don’t mess with the body in a casket, and you don’t question the arrangements the family made. Not if you’re an attendee of the funeral.
Granted, I’m different than most because I don’t watch TV, but I’m not sure how many people who were at the funeral would have watched the kitv report about it afterwards, and even if they saw that there were hands showing in the maybe 1-second clip, do you really think they’re going to tell the world, “No! KITV photoshopped that clip!”?
And even if they did, loudly enough for anybody to know? I’ve got video showing extra stuff in the water after the crash and I can’t even make a dent in the number of people who saw ABC’s original posting of the video, claiming it would silence the “crazy conspiracists”.
This is Hawaii. And anybody who’s investigated anything in Hawaii knows exactly what that means.
If you have attended so many funerals you will know that it is customary in many denominations for close family to say a private goodbye to the deceased before the funeral. I kissed all my grandparents goodbye before their funerals, and for my favourite grandmother, slightly rearranged her hair. I think I would have noticed if it had been a wax model. What do you imagine the family made of her waxwork dummy?
Also, what is your expertise to determine whether images are photoshopped. Has any expert declared the images photoshopped or are you guessing again?
