Faceless People Invade UK! [warning, creepy pic]

[Pearl]

On the face of it, there's something very strange going on...

These people and their blank expressions have caused a real stir.

Their visits included Elton John's ball and the Harrods summer sale, with one photographer saying: "It's the weirdest thing I've ever seen."

They use a membrane of artificial skin with tiny holes over the eyes so they can see. Theories include them being part of an ad campaign, artists or celebs sick of the paparazzi.

Whoa, I would be totally freaked out if I saw something like that!

I think its part of promotion for a movie, because these "faces" are appearing at major public events, like Wimbledon.

Is there anyone here from London? How do our British Interferencers feel about this?

It's like those creepy kids in The Wall or Jacob's Ladder.

 

[DreamOutLoud13]

Probably an ad campaign

 

[corianderstem]

Reminds me of the alien rebels in the X-Files who sealed their facial orifices shut to avoid being infected by the Black Oil.

Creepy.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

It's obviously Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow guys!!!

C'mon, isn't it obvious?

Case closed.

Pink Floyd is reuniting to play the complete Wall show.

I think it would be pretty sweet if someone pulled out a gun on these creeps and shot them (in the leg of course). i mean, seriously, the shooter would have a great defense: "i was certain these 'things' were going to probe me and/or suck out my brain!"

I remember that storyline.

*shudders* I find it a bit creepy. Although im in the UK im in northwest england so highly unlikely to see someone wearing one of these. Thank god.

The guy in pics 1,2 and 4 are the same guy.....or at least it looks like it. And the girl is the same in 2/4 pics.

 

[Laura M]

I'm in the UK and never heard of this. I'm guessing they're promoting something.

 

[swandiver]

I think it's for a car ad campaign.

 

[~BrightestStar~]

My friend suggested it might be for the Watchmen

 

[meegannie]

I'm not British (at least not until my application has been approved), I haven't heard anything about it, and I wouldn't really care if they were appearing all over Norwich. I doubt I would even notice.

 

[No spoken words]

Not to place much importance on this, but, how could you not notice that?

Creepy.

It is sort of creepy. Was there a large XFiles fandom in the UK?
I don't know.

How do we know? Because that's how Chrissy would sit.

 

[GibsonGirl]

Fuck yeah.

I've walked right on past family members in shops before. People can not notice an awful lot when distracted or walking head down.

David Lynch is likely involved.

I guess. I lived in NYC for 26 years, so I know how to walk with my head down and not make eye contact...but, I'd notice a faceless person.

 

[meegannie]

I very rarely look at people, and never notice what anyone's face looks like or what they're wearing. I can speak to the same person everyday and still have a hard time recognising them in a crowd, unless they have unusual hair. I would probably notice if a faceless person came up and spoke to me, but otherwise, no.

 

[mad1]

Either

A – it’s the new trend, pretty soon we can all go out and buy one.

B – as said, its promotion/advertisement for some Sci-Fi movie, or an ad about skincare in the sun.

or

C – they are aliens in disguise, in which case we all better run tha f***!.



Very strange. Could just be people tryin to create attention for no reason.

Just a hunch, but, yeah, I'm thinking that you would indeed notice a faceless person.

Because meeganie drinks powerjuice. Use your goddamn head once in a while.

She lives overseas. I'm not so sure that she does.

Will you crawl back into hiding/obscurity now, please?

 

[UberBeaver]

She lives overseas. I'm not so sure that she does.

You think powerjuice gives a fuck about boundaries? Are you serious?

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

i would have been scared shitless if not for the warning. thank god for that.
