Viral: Todays proof that the internet is stupid 1928 mobile phone meme
November 3, 2010 By Michael Larson
The latest internet meme that basically proves how stupid the internet is when taken as a whole is the woman in the old Charlie Chaplin film The Circus who the internet seems to think is talking on a cell phone.
The prevailing internet conspiracy theory is that the woman is a time traveler, making a call through time. I would debunk this by saying it would’ve been awfully hard to get reception before cell towers were ever invented, but I figure anybody who believes this woman broke the space-time continuum to visit 1928 isn’t going to be convinced by facts or logic.
So here you go internet, here is the video showing a 1928 mobile phone, we are convinced.
