Elderly Amish Man Caught on Film With Prostitute, Blackmailed
When a 75-year-old Amish widower slept with a prostitute, he -- we feel certain -- felt pretty bad about it the next morning. As if that guilt weren't enough for the old man, the prostitute and her boyfriend demanded $67,000 from him, claiming that they had filmed the scene with wall-mounted cameras and would upload the recording to the Internet. The pair was later arrested and, we can only imagine, the Amish man abhorred technology more than ever.
Bank Robber Gets Away With the Help of Craiglist
In October, a bank robber -- wearing a safety vest, blue shirt, face mask and goggles -- eluded police with the help of Craiglist. Just outside the bank, while the robbery was in progress, stood a group of men who were responding to a Craiglist day labor opportunity. As the advertisement required, they were all wearing safety vests, blue shirts, face masks and goggles.
Nude New Zealander Arrested After Responding to Fake Sexy Text Message
Late in 2007, a Wellington, New Zealand man received a racy text message from two anonymous "ladies," giving him only an address and a request that he show up naked. Well, he indeed showed up naked... at the home of one appalled, unsuspecting New Zealander. Both the nude Romeo and the sadistic texter were arrested, though neither were prosecuted.
Fake Craiglist Ad Costs Man Most of What He Owns
Last Spring, a post appeared on an Oregon Craigslist board stating that the owner of a specific house was leaving all of his worldly possessions (still in said house) to whoever wanted them. When homeowner Robert Salisbury rushed home -- on a tip from a woman suspicious about the offer of a free horse -- he found his house being ransacked by 30 strangers. We suggest he take that horse and collect some vengeance Clint Eastwood-style.
17-Year-Old Jailed for Stealing Virtual 'Furniture'
When a 17-year-old Dutch boy hacked into several accounts on the Second Life-style site 'Habbo' in 2007, the the law got involved. The boy was discovered to have stolen $5,800 worth of virtual furniture and knick-knacks. Apparently, crime -- whether actual or virtual -- does not pay.
Phishers Going After Your Phones in New 'Vishing' Trend
Over the past year, sneaky spammers have begun to forsake the worn-out territory of e-mail in favor of cell phones' fertile frontier. The result? "Vishing." Get it? Voice mail phishing. It might be more ominous if it didn't sound like a James Bond villain saying, "Wishing."
Burglars Break Into Restaurant, Steal HDTV, Leave Money / Food Behind
Around Halloween of last year, a truckload of thieves drove into -- that's right, into -- a Pennsylvania Mexican restaurant, where they -- apparently uninterested in the cash register -- stole a mid-grade 47-inch HDTV and fled the scene. We've all heard about how this generation is lacking in ambition, but this generation's thieves, too?

This is fake, other sources have used sound equipment and come up with totally different results. BBC2's The Culture Show got, "I love you. Don't forget to always tell the truth." Personally, I can't hear a similarity to either of these two translations. Besides, the ambiguous ending is perfect as it is. Nothing they could possibly say would be as powerful as what we imagine they say - that's the point!

I don't think we'll ever really know what Bill Murray's character said because it isn't whatever Bill Murray said. My guess is that Bill probably said something like, "I am saying the most amazing thing ever said to a woman," or "We're done Sweetheart, we finally get to blow this taco stand and go home." The point is, that in this perfect film by the brilliant Sofia Coppola, his character said whatever each viewer wants to believe he said. That is why it is a perfect ending, a transcendent film, and why we love it so much. It's pointless (and not possible) to figure out what he said because no matter what it is, it's not the character's line. Now I have to watch it again. Bravo, Sofia!

Who gives a frog's fart what the "final whisper" was in the film LOST IN TRANSITION. Most Americans these days (except the galactically stupid ones) hate all Hollywood actors because politically, and on the plane of sincere humanitarianism, that's exactly what they are...hypocrite ACTORS!

It's easier to understand what the ghosts are saying in the EVP's on Ghost Hunters.

Are you talkiname?
WE do not view movies NOT to understand every word in the dialogue and frankly we are beyond frustrated with poor sound quality and actors minus training to ensure we are able to comprehend what the script writers have provided for them.
IF those making this film had felt it was important for their paying customers to understand that line, would they not have ensured every word was crystal clear? WE NEVER go to movie theaters any longer, instead stick with receiving DVD's in the mail-and as for clear understanding of dialogue we no longer expect it from so called 'movie personalities' instead feel secure with Donald Ducks always clear statements!

I think Pierpoint Windsor is on to something. It seems to be the penchant of directors to have a great deal of the script's dialog to be acted in softly whispered, intimate conversation while too often the actors are turned away from the camera and microphone. What's with that? I prefer to see a live play where the actors feel the obligation to communicate with their audience.

Besides the background music is SO loud, I have a hard enough time hearing what the actors say most of the time. Directors please turn the volume down

We're not suppose to know what was whispered...but rather imagine what should have been said.

Thank you Jim I agree...we're not suppose to know what was said....in fact it doesn't really matter what was said between them....that's just another part of the film. Use a little imagination...personally I think he said "This movie sucks and I am glad this is the final scene" HA I am kidding of course call your dogs off future posters!

A friend recommended this movie to me last year and I loved it. It's never bothered me that I couldn't understand what he whispered..that's the beauty of it. I think I'm going to have to rent this movie again though.

Who cares. A stupid movie directed by a spoiled child and acted in by questionable actors. Save your money: Don't buy it, don't rent it and don't borrow it. Murray and Johansson? Why not Hackman and Alba? Ewwwwwww. Borderline pedophilia.

Thank you for revealing your own hang ups prejudice about age.
Only the Anglo world is so judgmental about this an issue.
In the rest of the world age is respected.
Relationships between adults are not judged on such an irrelevant standard, but rather on how each person can contribute to the happiness and well-being of the other.

I agree with all of you who said it doesn't really matter what he said; left to the imagination it makes for a more powerful ending. I loved this film but have very few friends who did. I can't understand why not. It's on my list of all-time favorites. And for the dumbell who said "He's old enough to be her grandfather" that too was part of the point. It was about love (not age) and how it can happen where you least expect it. There was no sexual content inferred...just love.
