Neat. I've never heard from someone who saw it live before. It would have terrified me.
How alarmed were you or any people watching with you? Was it a huge controversy at the time or just kind of funny?
I check about every two years to see if anyone has fessed up yet
Whoever did it could easily be dead by now. We may never know.
I think you’re right. You would think someone would have come forward by now since they probably can’t get in trouble anymore.
Good question: what’s the statute of limitations on something like this?
In Illinois, it would be 3-7 years but there’s a quirk where if the person left the state the statute would toll (pause). The most serious offenses would come from the Federal side but those statutes would be long run.
The wiki linked said it expired 5 years later.
They're not.
Still a giant masterpiece for all the greatest world newspaper nerds.
I’d love to finally find out who really pulled this off. It’s a mystery that’s old enough now to be complaining about its own piles.
Fuck yes thank you for the reminder!
What's the context of this please? Lol
There's a link in the description.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
Here’s a direct link to one of the pirate broadcasts.
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

Huzzah!!
Newspaper Nerds appreciation day! ...Maybe. The dude's political signalling was fucking all over the place.
legend. back when things could be untraceable
I prefer Orson Welles' first album...
