Was it ever confirmed that Madame Leclerc was Teddy's mother? The pictures of him with Jamie and the one shown in the video were awfully similar.

Also, for you people who think she can't be his mother because of the last name difference, Leclerc could be her maiden name, she could be divorced.


It wasnt confirmed that a) Teddy was her son, b) That teddy was in the picture and c) that the picture is IG.

However, I do think its a possibility, as they do look similar.

To confirm anything about a link with Teddy and Mme Leclerc, we first need a way to identify him. I can't remember any picture evidence of Teddy so far. So we are comparing a spec with a spec.

This was mentioned about 40 pages ago briefly but I think it needs to be brought up again.

I think there is a possibility that Madame LeClerc is Le Bandit Vert. The Bandit could be a woman. It would make sense to say wait for something from the leader in a crisis, the leader could be Janice.
There was a great 18th century Conservationist named Leclerc and it would make perfect sense if the Bandit used this as a pseudonym.
Which would mean Madame Leclerc's photo of her son is Janice's pic but there seems to be nothing in it that's unique besides her son.

And Le Bandit Vert is always referred to as 'Le Bandit' on the Tag site, never 'he' or 'she'

OK people are going to kill me for this, especially considering I suggested the Korean videos were real, but now I am thinking I was wrong and they are fake.

there is a third here:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=gXtpDyZT-Hw

Which consists mainly of the video of the boat attempting to flee.
Now the faces in that video are pixelated out which make no sense as this video has been widely distributed with no pixelation.

Anyway for what it's worth.

i've been lurking around for a while and had been following this thread until to grew into the best that it's grown into. anyway, did anyone figure out why the american media coverage is being kept so quiet, like super localized the way it is compared to the international coverage?

This is an interesting question. I'm not sure why this was done. I like that each country's video had a bit more information in it - and information that was made to be "local" to that country- but I'm not sure why the American news was focused on Connecticut. The possible "oil spill" mentioned in the news would affect a large area.

Maybe they were spooked into not using New York stations for fear people would think it was real? I know that they use New York 1 in the movie, maybe they want to limit that station to the movie only.

And, am I the only one here who sees the irony in posts that have as the sole content complaints about the length of the thread? hehe, this community we've got here cracks me up sometimes. I love irony - particularly META irony Smile

I'd say that's spot on. The international stations are all made up if I'm not mistaken. Using a real station in a movie is one thing (CNN in many movies for example, OBVIOUS it's not real), but if you posted a video on Youtube using a real station (possibly even with real reporters) you could easily run into issues.

Perhaps with it they reach balance between USA and foreign content. The most awards were only for American residents, and Puppet masters understood, foreing players would be slightly disappointed.
OK, the "making of" version.

But IG-version is: the international ruckus around the Chuai collapse will reach USA and it would be more authentic for USA mass media to quote international sources.

i guess i'm thinking in more IG terms... it seems to me that everything has been very precise so far and the people behind these bits of media know exactly what they're doing. it makes me think that their hinting at the notion that the US media is ignoring it--maybe not voluntarily. it's a huge story that's been relegated to low-level news status. i think it's significant also because, after all, it's an american city that gets attacked. what sort of ties to big american corporations have to chuai? maybe more involved than previously indicated. if this is the case that's a pretty subtle clue. come to think of it, i'm going to rewatch the english clip to see if i can glean anything else from it.

I said it about 10 times in this threa, but it kept getting bumped by the time I posted, so i don't know if anyone saw it or not.

Each video reflects each countries reporting "style", and the American one is perfect, because they would just consider this a "Fluff" piece. The American media has more important things to worry about right now, like Britney Gone Wild, Football playoffs and presidential primaries.

If this was real-world, it would be exactly like this.

So the Japanese lost their new toy out in the middle of the ocean... how sad.

LOOK! Britney's coming out of the hospital with Dr. Phil! Breaking news on CNN!!!!

At least some people are annoyed with that sort of thing in the US media Smile
