Another sorded legend

Well this one i think is true -and has no connection to myself-honest
Here it goes -A friend of mine knows someone at work who decided to go to Amsterdam to smuggle some porno films back to UK to sell on at a hansome profit ,but the fear took hold of him and he changed his mind.
Brainflash he placed his camcorder on stand and recorded several films of his hotel tv screen-which had suscribtion channels containing this disgusting vice.
Gets back home well chuffed and starts to sell them on at a hansome profit the world is suddenly a great place to be in-WRONG.
On some of the films ther is a clear reflection of him from the tv screen-well how can i say it touching himself in an un-natural manner .
Overnight he became a laughing stock and lost all street cred .A cautionary tale for anyone with similar designs me thinks
ps. I hope i don't get wrong for this one. :eek!!!!:
 
Sorry, I think its an urban legend. My husband told me much the same story approx. 6 years ago, except in his version its a guy copying the video for a friend........still thats not to say it never happened.....:)
 
This is an easy one to disprove. First, check into a hotel room with a camcorder. Second, turn on your favourite show and set up the camcorder to record the program. Third, lay on the bed and touch yourself in your natural or un-natural manner of choice.
Repeat as necessary until you realize that either you are too far from the telly to be reflected or the camcorder is blocking any possible reflection.

P.S. If you are performing this test while watching Thunderbirds , please seek appropriate psychiatric help. You should be deeply ashamed.:D
 
Oooooh, I don't know, that Virgil is drop dead handsome......
Boy, do I need help............:eek!!!!:
 
Naughty fillums!

I heard this from a colleague at work about 6-9 months ago, he claimed it was a third person known to us both working in a metal trading house in London.

I suspect it may have had a grain of truth originally, but has suffered the usual embroidery of a FOAF tale.

Maybe he was standing up near the TV? Maybe holding the camcorder in one hand? I'm not saying it ever happened, but I don't think it's impossible by any stretch of the imagination.
 
With a normal TV tube, with a slightly convex screen, a reflection would appear slightly further back than the screen image, and reduced in size. If the guy with unnatural(?) habits was standing in a well-lit area of the room, and the action on the screen went dark for a short period, the auto-focus of the videocam could bring his reflection into focus.

But why didn't the silly wazzack look at the video before trying to sell copies?!
