Wow, I guessed Paris Hilton before looking. Ironically, I doubt Ms. Hilton would even know who that is in that picture.

Osama bin Ladin?

Hmmm…that was closer than I thought.

Pablo on November 22, 2006 at 11:26 AM

George W. Bush. Now let me see if I’m right….well, holy cow! According to the left I hit it dead on.

Bellicose Muse on November 22, 2006 at 11:30 AM

Pretty interesting, AP. Wonder if it will air on Discovery or the History Channel here at some point?

I guessed Hillary before reading the link. You know, “I’m busy with this project and that project”. Not specific enough to nail her down, but sending the message she’s doing something for the good of us all.

“You talk about a dress that does not fit … imagine my problems,”

Speaking truth to power, no doubt.

Actually, Rumsfeld was Himmler. Come on – get your left demagoguery straight.

Editor on November 22, 2006 at 11:42 AM

I thought it would be Angelina Jolie or some such other goofy actress.

CrimsonFisted on November 22, 2006 at 11:42 AM

I’ll look forward to this on TV too. I am not too sure if I believe lip reading software – isn’t the timing on old movies only 30 frames per second instead of 40? Wouldn’t that alter what is thought to be said?

lorien1973 on November 22, 2006 at 11:44 AM

Can’t see videos from You Tube, Arrggggh! Damn IT weenies at NMCI have blocked it.

ic1redeye on November 22, 2006 at 11:56 AM

Well I thought of Pilooser. Sounded like her type of ‘woman’ talk, whatever that means. But HH?

The software is astounding. Just imagine what will be known from here on out about what people are saying. In a few years, there will be a handheld insta-reader, SW for your PDA. Lookout coaches and potty mouths.

He was also shown saying, “Next time no more Herr Nice Guy!”

Dread Pirate Roberts VI on November 22, 2006 at 12:01 PM

That is really interesting.

zerodamage on November 22, 2006 at 12:04 PM

Lookout coaches and potty mouths.

Is there a coach that you CAN’T lipread? I think its pretty obvious what most of them are saying on the sideline. And its not “aw shucks” either :)

lorien1973 on November 22, 2006 at 12:05 PM

Coaches- Well, they have been known to call in a play or two.

shooter on November 22, 2006 at 12:07 PM

I did. Yesterday.

Kevin M on November 22, 2006 at 12:09 PM

“You talk about a dress that does not fit … imagine my problems,” he says with exasperation to his lover.

Why did I have flashbacks to a certain blue dress and an intern ?

Most NFL football coaches are savvy about lip readers and will shield their mouths with a play chart when they call the play into the quarterback. Then are those “unscripted” moments when it is plain as day what is being said, such as Pete Carroll of USC swearing across the sidelines at Mike Bellotti of my beloved Oregon Ducks.

Gawd, I hate seeing the play chart up to Holmgren’s mouth ’cause it means he’s calling a play and that usually ends in disaster.

Who’s the one that dubbed him a play calling genius? Who, pray tell!!!!

We wonder the same thing about Gruden. He’s a “genius” alright. Much like the “special” bus.

Film shot towards the end of the war shows Hitler complaining about tremors in his arm, giving more credence to the theory that he was suffering from Parkinson’s Disease.

So, Hitler had Parkinson’s Disease? Wait, Michael J. Fox has Parkinson’s Disease; Bush isn’t Hitler, MICHAEL J. FOX IS HITLER! Or at least the Evil Anti-Elvis…

It will be okay. Hasselbeck will be back on Monday. He knows when to audible out of Holmgren’s play into something that will work. Unlike last Sunday’s 4th and 2 play to Alexander. Oy.

Mallard T. Drake on November 22, 2006 at 12:43 PM

I’m shocked this wasn’t done (manually of coarse) a long, long time ago.

TheBigOldDog on November 22, 2006 at 12:47 PM

Unlike last Sunday’s 4th and 2 play to Alexander. Oy.Not. Funny. Worst. Call. Ever.

Except for when white helmets equal brown footballs. Heh, looks like Vinnie’s back in the league, too.

Editor on November 22, 2006 at 1:04 PM

D’oh!

Editor on November 22, 2006 at 1:05 PM

odrady,

Or at least the Evil Anti-Elvis…

Hitler is in Joan Rivers, but he’s trying to get out…

Pablo on November 22, 2006 at 1:22 PM

…who said it? Heinrich Himmler, in one of Eva Braun’s “home movies”, silent but recently scanned with lip reading software.

What sorts of things was he working on, you have to ask yourself.

Scarey. Good post.

I agree. I’m morbidly fascinated by the concept of Hitler as a normal person, flirting with Eva. It feels… odd.

…find a copy (Blockbusters, etc.) of “Downfall” with Bruno Ganz. It’s in German with subtitles, but is as close to seeing Hitler as a person — never “normal” — as you’re ever going to see. It’s bone-chilling in places. There was even a little controversy when it came out in Germany that it “humanized” Hitler.

You can humanize Hitler about as easily as you can have a lox and bagels and bridge over with the Husseins after Uday and Qusay go out to the sock hop.

Excellent treatment of the subject. The last days of the Third Reich…with St. Petersburg standing in for Berlin. Ironic.
