Has anybody seen this yet? It's a very bizarre two minute video which uses morse code, binary numbers, and who knows what else!

Earlier this week, we reported on an endlessly creepy puzzle video that was confounding and unsettling everyone who watched it. In the days since, the story has grown far strangerbut the identity of the person responsible for the threatening messages remains as clouded as ever.
The video, which spread quickly across YouTube and was allegedly discovered on a DVD on a park bench in Spain, contains a seemingly endless number of puzzles, both obvious and obscure. Numerous interested parties have been working to unearth the mysteries held within, and several bits of new information have emerged.
Perhaps most disturbing revelation of all is that the Morse code puzzle, which was translated into RED LIPSLIKE TENTH, has been discovered to be an anagram of KILL THE PRESIDENT. This, coupled with the previously discovered hidden GPS coordinates of the White House, paints a vivid threat.

(7,820 posts)Since they mention GPS coordinates to the White House. Very, very strange. Hopefully not a real threat. Possibly a game, test, or PR stunt? Don't know what to make of it.

After all, this video was known to exist since May, 2015. (at least that's what I thought I read). Very strange with that person wearing what looks like a doctors mask from the plague times, only this one has eye googles.

I don't buy it. A movie directed by Ron Howard (AKA Richie Cunningham) and starring All-American Typewriter collector, Tom Hanks, would not make use of images containing dismembered/tortured people.
