Guys, are you stuck needing certain skillsets for HDTP?

It's not about the money people - it's about the passion for your work -_-. And that gentleman is the truth.

Well so long as your employers are fair. Lets be reasonable

I've been keeping her in the "Women Afraid of Teh Jonas" (WATJO) protection program, along with hundreds of other terrified blondes. The poor dear. Luckily, the restraining order FINALLY came in.

NO STALKING FOR TEH JONAS!! [-X

Yeah, the international courts take a long time to file those. Next time it would be better to skip the Danish embassy, it's a freak show.

Smike, Metche is a brunette.

Just the way I like 'em.

I'm sorry but anything I could say in response to that would be unnecessarily evil.

I'm just going to take this keepsake moment, and walk away happy...

Is this a CSI style "We never said she was a brunette, Mr. NEW SUSPECT..." moment?

Followed by you putting on shades in slow motion and still being horribly ginger?

Smike · Post by **Smike** » Thu Oct 11, 2007 8:51 pm

I'm going to say... YES.

(even though no, no.)

"It looks like - we've got a contestant."

...and cue SAVAGELY DESTROYING THE GREATEST 'WHO' TRACK EVER, EVERY SINGLE FUCKING TIME.

You'll then have to proceed to blowup a grainy barely detailed CCTV image to 3 billion times it's resolution to get a perfectly clear image of her hair to prove it's brunette.

"Yes, yes, I'll protect you from that horrid pervert, just come over here, into my van..."

Jetset, I'm not getting in your van.

Phas, it's always been my dream to produce this scene:

"Okay. O-K. Now, zoom in on that."
"What?"
"That - I want to see that license plate."
"Ummmmm... what?"
"The plates, lets see 'em."
"Yeah, uh, this is a 320 x 240 security camera - and that car's at least fifty feet away."
"Hmmm, okay. Enhance it."
"What?"
"Enhance."
"I'm sorry, enhance WHAT?"
"Just enhance it."
"I CAN'T. IT'S NOT POSSIBLE."
"Enhance."
"NO. I CAN'T ENHANCE ANYTHING YOU COMPLETE MORON!!"

Unfortunately, it'd never get past the editors.

You could probably get away with parodying it to ridiculous levels, though: I expect many of the mouth-breathing viewers wouldn't even notice.

"Okay. O-K. Now, zoom in on that."
"What?"
"That - I want to see that license plate."
"Well, ok.. this is a 320 x 240 security camera - and that car's at least fifty feet away. So I'll apply the unsharp mask filter FIVE times."
"You can DO that?" (astonished)
"Oh yeah, you betcha. Now we'l zoom in by a factor of fifty, and do the same thing again. TWICE."
"Good work: look at the paint on the screws holding the licence plate. Quick, print that image off and run it through the spectrograph*: I suspect..our vehicle is nicaraguan." *puts on shades*

*I would really love to see if you could get away with this
