OK Update... looks like this is a hoax. After looking at the page source, the "cam" image is actually an 4 frame animated GIF...

http://www.seemerot.com/images/headcam1.gif

Which is why it looks like its refreshing. No timestamp on the frames and the lack of any visible decay over 10 months SHOULD have been the *AHEM* dead give-a-way.

So color me the sucker. Though I do wonder how long before someone really does this?? -LB

And it begs the question... is this page with the phoney "coffin cam" a mere PR tool for "market research"? I.E. to find some twisted individual that says "COOL! I'm dying, I'd like to be the 'next' cam subject."

It's going to happen sooner or later, and if its against any laws in this country (though I can't imagine it would be, as it does not pose any sort of heath risk, aside from weak stomachs giving the heave-ho to their last meal), if not here, they will do it some place where they will let them. -LB

Yeah. Not too many people get caught dead in their work shirts.
