Yeah, I saw this in the news a couple days ago. Of course the picture in the paper there was black-and-white and fuzzy, so it was harder to see. Apparently no one was at all fooled and I suspect this 'disguise' simply made him easier to find and identify.

Is this a hate crime? He'd probably get more years for the 'hate crime' than the bank robbery.

It was the white lips that gave him away. He was watching too many Al Jolson movies.

"This is absolutely regrettable that a criminal would make himself appear to be African-American". What a shame that a criminal would be so improper!
To: Timeout
"and used a pillow to make himself appear obese" From the looks of his neck I would say obese'er

John Lovelace, head of the local NAACP chapter, tells the paper, "This is absolutely regrettable that a criminal would make himself appear to be African-American". Is he talking about Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton?

Shouldn't the headline be "European American robs bank disguised as African American?
To: Timeout

It was the white lips that gave him away...Actually, I think he's got some kind of bandaid across the bridge of his nose...like to make it flatter! LOL!

To: dighton

Remember Jerry Reed pulling a stick up as a black man?
To: Timeout
His disguise would have worked if he voted 6 times while chanting "Stay out da Bushes".
To: dighton
HAHAHAHA! You beat me to it. When I saw the headline, the mental image was Gene Wilder with the shoe polish and the boom box thing. Ooops, apparantly that wasn't quite right. This guy looks more like...

Shouldn't the headline be "European American robs bank disguised as African American?good point. though i'm still trying to figure out how you'd disguse a bank as an african-american.
