HOLLYWOOD - Abraham Zapruder, the man who filmed the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, is coming out of retirement to film a commercial for the Toro Lawn Mower Company. Insiders say Zapruder will use the same Bell & Howell 8mm camera that he used to film the assassination.
Like the assassination film, the commercial will be exactly 26.6 seconds in length, it will be silent, and, without warning, frame 313 will explode with crackling pop-pop-pop brutality as the beloved lawn mower blows up.
The commercial features some of the time-honored techniques Zapruder popularized. He is widely regarded as the father of handheld, shaky camera work to create the illusion of stark intimacy, a style imitated in countless films since 1963.

Hands Transplant Patient Meets, Slaps Face of Face Transplant Patient
Ms. Murray’s transplanted hands formerly belonged to the wife of the man who donated Mr. Hermanns’ face. That marriage ended unhappily, allegedly because of the face donor’s repeated indiscretions.
Immediately after Ms. Murray was introduced to Mr. Hermann, her new hands began slapping his face. The other guests watched in horrified silence.
“It was as if [my hands] had a mind of their own,” said Ms. Murray.
Security guards quickly separated the pair. Dr. Bradleys Roadhouse, the surgeon who performed both transplants, arranged the historic meeting.
“I thought it would be a real hoot to have them meet — you know, from a scientific perspective.”
Dr. Roadhouse was “not surprised” by Ms. Murray’s attack on Mr. Hermann, given the prior relationship of the hands and face donors.
“I’ve encountered similar phenomena in Haiti in connection with my studies of the occult,” he explained. “To the uninitiated, it can be a little off-putting.”
Dr. Roadhouse observed that “there hasn’t been this much slapping in Washington since the Clintons occupied the White House.”
