A Women Using A Cellphone.... In 1928?!?

[Raiser]

she's just covering up the bruise her man gave her for embarrassing him in front of guests.

Nope, he saw her out of the kitchen.

Time Travel FTW.

I know, it sure is.

(And it's woman.)

Here's an example of the kind of moron who believes this sort of stuff


So here we have some of the most broken, retarded logic I've ever heard. "It can't be an AM radio - they didn't exist back then!" Guess what dickhead, cellphones didn't exist back then, why not apply that perfectly reasonable logic to them? "I'm stumped, I can't explain it, you can't explain it - it has to be a cell phone" This kind of argument is used frequently when trying to convince people of the supernatural and it basically boils down to "I can't exaplin it, therefore I can explain it." I can't explain why the door slammed, therefore it was a ghost.

There are about 10,000 more probable explainations than it being a time travelling woman who went to the trouble to dress herself in period clothes to avoid detection, but then walks down the street openly using non-existent technology, with no-one batting an eyelid. Firstly almost all of the 'proof' is suggested rather than clearly evident in the film - she's talking, she's holding a phone to her ear etc (Even after saying I'm going to let you decide for yourself he tells you what you're seeing). She could be scratching her face and talking to someone off camera. She could be holding a poultice or ice pack to her mouth and her mouth is open because she has toothache. She could be using a 1920s hearing aid, which looked like this...

And setting the volume by talking, as people still do nowadays with hearing aids.

You call that a hearing aid? This is a hearing aid:

Seriously now, it's not a mobile phone.

 

[BlueStar]

Also, who the fuck she was talking to, and using which cellphone mast?

She's talking to Enterprise!

That explains everything!

 

[Depravo]

Even if she is a time travelling lady with a mobile phone how the fuck is she making it work? There were no mobile networks to carry the signal back then. Or is this another ludicrous conspiracy theory?

EDIT: I think I took rather too long typing that message.

They kinda look like phasers.

BlueStar. that was the best post I've ever read on here! Totally correct. If this were an Amazon search I reckon it'd say something like "people who believed this, also believe in psychics, astrology, homeopathy"

and nobodys gonna point out the fact that the video from 1928 is available in 480p? the alleged cell phone is only half the story here!

you are right, digital cameras were only 360i back then

The video was probably taken from the DVD set which was probably Unscaled and or Digitally remastered into standard DVD Resolution (720x480)

huge and unwieldy. Its it a Nokia?

 

[UnitGGChamp]

she had a raunchy good time and has some residue hanging? Holding her ear to not expose she worked on the strip..

 

[Pliskron]

That's not a woman. It's a chupacabra in disguise.

Quoting a interesting comment from Youtube

likely it was intentional, just to be funny... "look at that someone talking on a phone attached to nothing!" A total coincidence that 80 yrs later, we actually DO have phones with no cords. I personally see no conspiracy, time travel, etc. There are movies of us going to the moon before we went too.
