Faceless 'aliens' spotted in crowd at Wimbledon
Mail Online ^ | 7-2-08 | Alex Millson

With the blankest of blank expressions on their faces, these mysterious figures have been popping up in the most unlikely of places.

The faceless mutants have a penchant for A-list celebrity bashes and have been spotted at Elton John's White tie ball and Harrods summer sale, opened by Sex and the City star Kim Cattrall.

With a membrane of skin stretched tightly over their eyes, noses and mouths, the alien-like figures were most recently snapped 'watching' a match perched on Murray Mount at Wimbledon.

Close inspection of the pictures rules out an alien invasion - small perforations around the eye areas of the masks allow the people beneath to see the world outside.

But nobody knows who the faceless figures, who often appear as motionless couples are, or why they are turning up at high profile events.

Theories include the possibilities that they are limelight-seeking pranksters, performance artists or that they are at the centre of a viral marketing campaign for an as-yet unknown product of forthcoming horror film.

Speculation has even arisen that the masks hide a pair of well-know faces, fed up with being harrassed by the paparazzi.

One blogger wrote on the Moue Magazine website: "They probably aren’t just random people off of the street.

"If it ends up being a pair of celebrities who have had it with being photographed all of the time and are staging a protest, I vow to support every project they appear on from now on.

Phew. From the title, I figured the Blancmange from planet Skyron were going to start eating the players and turning the crowd into Scotsmen.

I found something on it..... "Lotus seems to be copying that campaign for the rollout of the pending 2010 Lotus Eagle, but this time, the marketing effort is decidedly more creepy. The "FacelessPeople" ad campaign consists at the moment of a website with a countdown timer, and, more bizarrely, people without faces attending public events wearing Lotus badges." www.facelesspeople.com

What a brilliant idea!

Don’t know why some on this thread have a problem with people doing fun things.

Bummer - all this time I thought it was a guerilla marketing campaign for the X-Files.

I saw a young teen girl today with a tee shirt that had a flower power peace sign with a big OBEY below.

I watched my first Wimbledon finals in years, and it was worth it!!! What a classic match. Looks like there’s a new Number One.
