“Is This A Parody?“: Viewers Stunned By Hilariously Bad “Disguise” On “60 Minutes”

When interviewed for a TV report, many people looking to protect their identities for safety purposes often impose a condition: either their faces must be blurred, or they must be filmed with their backs facing the camera. But not this FBI agent named “Carrie.”

Speaking with the broadcast 60 Minutes for a report on Havana Syndrome, “Carrie” appeared wearing a blonde wig. Naturally, the minimalist disguise left many viewers wondering if they’d been the victim of an April Fools joke.

For those unfamiliar with the term, Havana Syndrome is a mysterious illness characterized by a feeling of dizziness that has affected US diplomats in recent years. It’s believed that the syndrome is linked with Russian sonic weaponry.

Baffled by the simple costume choice, people took to social media to roast the production for their lazy attempt at concealing “Carrie’s” identity.

The most hilarious and absurd part of the 60 Minutes report on Havana Syndrome is this incredible disguise.
I’m sure no one could uncover this woman’s real identity using any number of free/cheap facial recognition software. https://t.co/9WA3y3kacs

“This will fool the sort of people who don’t realize Clark Kent is Superman because he wears glasses”

I do not understand why they didn’t just blur her face.

Of course, people couldn’t help but draw comparisons with the famous Sia wig

Costume department really thought they cooked with the Sia wig https://t.co/C4HIxhjUPk pic.twitter.com/MYEL12G2iT
