Just Another Faceless in the Crowd

No, their faces weren't mauled off by a chimp, they're just two of the creepy, faceless people that have recently turned up at various events in England.

This masked couple was snapped at a Wimbledon match this week and while it's unknown what or why they are doing it, the buzz is they could be part of the anti-Scientology group Anonymous.

Save Suri!

UPDATE: Sorry Suri, turns out it's part of some sort of marketing campaign for the car manufacturer Lotus.

31. Faceless people dot com has a count down clock for true character emerging in 20 days, like has already been said it is owned by Lotus.

34. Just thinking "aloud" but they seem to remind me of the old British cult TV series the prisoner, which they are making a remake of .... maybe a connection, plus the outfits do look like an update.

35. I wish I would run into one. I would start to hyperventilate, have chest pains, run, trip get hurt and then sue for some serious money.

That hang tag is the Lotus trademark.

38. I don't know what its for but the origional image of these faceless people came from an Episode of the British TV show Doctor Who.

Americans might not get the reference, but its the #1 TV show in the UK right now. But who knows why they are using the faceless masks now.

A comment on society? On the TV show, people's faces were sucked off while watching TV and they were left to wander the streets untill they could be rescued.

44. This is viral marketing, not "Anonymous" you know and love. But the anti-Scientology Anonymous have been doing this same thing since early spring and will continue through the summer. There have been fawkes-masked audience members at baseball matches in the US, at the Nelson Mandela 90th birthday concert (46664) in London, and so on.

An example: vimeo.com/1254364

So keep on the lookout for a Guy Fawkes (EFG) mask or a green face in the crowds.

Expect us.

45.

Creepy. I don't think of cars when I look at them. I think of creatures-who-shall-not-be-discussed that live under the bed, nest in the closet and come out after dark.

Heebie-jeebie stuff.
