Plausable Deniabilty

I was looking for something tonight in the Lansing State Journal and ran into this web photo gallery labeled MSU Football Fans. Knowing that our friends in green and white are always good for a few laughs -- I decided to look through the images. I chuckled at image number 4 because the LSJ photographer captured a wonderful shot of a person searching thru the garbage for cans.

But then I ran across this one. --->

At first glance, nothing spectacular. People smiling and drinking a beer - but then I realize that there is nothing in this image that would tell you that these are MSU fans getting ready to watch a college football game. Not one logo. Not one visible tattoo or tongue ring. Not one article of green clothing. Nothing.

Nice job guys. Way to get excited and support your team.

This is a very interesting observation. The term plausable deniabilty comes to mind. They can alway say they are not really Sparty fans but were just there for the party.

I also noted that image 5 has two guys with one wearing an IZZONE t-shirt and the other a lacross t-shirt. That really makes them football fans.

Plausable Deniabilty is perfect. I am going to change the title of the post.

Thanks

It is so obvious this photo has been photoshopped. They are MSU fans and they're smiling? Yeah, like that's gonna happen.

Picture #4 is classic. The dumpster-diving lady reminds me of the Chinese lady at the start of Happy Gilmore.

Some friends and I were playing Frisbee in the parking lot of the Farmers Market in Lansing. A woman drove up to the dumpster and started filling the trunk of her....... Mercedes Benz. She was wering a fur and a state shirt.

photo #7 of the family and all the children, with the little girl in front being held by her mother, Is it just me or does that little girl have some beans and franks hanging out? ;)
