Secret Service Banned Flash Photography At Debate

For Fears It Would Trigger Hillary’s Seizure Disorder

PIX 11 news anchor Kirstin Cole announced Monday that the Secret Service banned flash photography from Sunday night’s presidential debate hall at Washington University in St. Louis over fears it could “inspire Hillary’s seizure disorder.”

“For those of you who watched to the bitter, bitter end of this, did you catch this?” Cole posed to the audience. “The comeback of the cardboard camera. Holy 80s drive me to the photo map, Batman.”

“We thought it was a Secret Service thing, banning the cell phones.”

Later in the segment, Cole caught a flash in the face as the rest of the PIX 11 team snapped picitures with disposable cameras.

“Whoa, God. This is why it was banned apparently,” Cole stated. “The Secret Service did not trust people to disable the flashes on they’re cameras, and they were afraid it would sort of inspire Hillary’s seizure disorder.”

What do the disposable cameras, with flashes, have to do with banning flash photography?

The one disposable camera we could see at the debate did not have a flash.

The people on the news desk were using cameras with flashes.

Well said. I think the soviet union called them political officers—commissars.

Both the SS and Comey’s FBI don’t mind unloading a sick woman on the American public as a possible president.

A truly sick and anti-American public service.

Moderator: Secretary Clinton, how do you feel your many, many years of dedicated government service have prepared you to serve as president of this deeply grateful nation? Followup question, do you feel, as many of us do, that in this instance, an actual election is simply a needless formality?

Clinton: Well as I’ve said repeatedly, when I singlehandedly liberated Libya from-

Dang I hate it when there aren’t corroborative links in the source. Where does PIX 11 broadcast from...(or what is it)? and Who is Kirsten Cole?

Can’t post an image from a disposable camera.

You haven't used one for a long time, have you?

Even the labs at the corner Walgreens are digital. The film is developed and scanned, so that a computer can apply automated color correction.

At that point, it can print the image, upload it to their online portal, or put all the images on a CD.

The only real difference is the delay -- you can't upload it to Facebook or Twitter immediately.

Yes. This is an all call. Wherever the hildabeast shows up bring your flash and use it often.

We can expect people to start smuggling strobe lights into Hillary’s indoor appearances and flash ‘em at her.

I would think it’s cruel, but they have assured us there is nothing wrong with her. So it shouldn’t hurt.

The context was a simultaneous shouting of questions. Hellery acted overwhelmed, which appeared to be a seizure, and startled one concerned female reporter. A few seconds later, all the reporters acknowleged and recognized Hellery’s “joke”. This was no “seizure”.

Hellery’s weakness and unsteadiness ARE fair game.

Photojournalist here. Flash units are banned from most televised events. They can really mess with a video cameras sensors.

And the lighting on stage is pretty damned bright.

Next debate, half the Trump supporters should wear white shirts, the other half black. Then start moving side to side when she starts to answer a question.
