Viewers Stunned By Hilariously Bad “Disguise” On “60 Minutes”

FBI 60 Minutes United States Bored Panda Clark Kent Superman Sia (Organization)

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.

“Nobody is ever going to be able to identify this woman”

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

Some pointed to modern technology doing the detective work for them

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