Here's a slightly disturbing video courtesy of Mr Rezvani that ran for a full second, lived on the internet for 24 hours, before vanishing completely. I've slowed it down so here you can get a better chance to take it all in. It could be a glimpse of work on an upcoming Editors promo film. There's an album to promote and visuals to concoct, so it could be. But this very short film may have also revealed a terrible secret. In the interests of truth, transparency (or blatantly making shit up) I have a theory about what this clip means, and you might not be able to handle the honesty. Unless, of course, the honesty deceives...
Do you remember when Mr Smith had that fall at Music for Life? We all wondered whether or not he'd broken a bone because he hit the deck with quite a thud. Assurances were made that he was sore, but ultimately doing just fine. No breakages. Well consider this; what if he did actually injure himself and not only that, he injured himself quite seriously? So much so that Team Editors needed a quick fix to head off a potential delay to the impending VI OLENCE campaign, and allow our gravity-afflicted front-man to heal up and slip back into the lineup later on? It sure would be great if they could get a stand-in for Tom, to embrace the unending grind of interviews and photographs that are going to be required for a successful promotional push. The problem is, his face has been in the public domain for so long that a lookalike would probably be outed fairly quickly.
What if this is where the (evil?) genius of Mr Rezvani has come into play.
As well as being the 6th member of the band and the man responsible for their public image of late, what if he has some scientific knowledge too, particularly in the fields of genetics? What if the video here suggests that Team Editors have employed Rahi's services as a photographer, promotional film maker and Executive Director of Cloning? Does it not make sense that the solution to everybody's dilemma after Mr Smith ate the floor at Music for Life was to have him make a replica of him, to fulfill all those duties that are looming on the horizon, maybe even including touring? A being that was constructed from the saliva left in the bottom of some recently drained bottles of Salvation beer, and some DNA left behind in his touring boots when they were retired from active stage duty.

Also, if any of this is really true (it isn't) then that means that EdiBow is technically the Bride of Frankensmith.
It only takes a look at the tag added to the video clip by Rahi himself, "In my laboratory", to know that I'm on to something here (I'm really, really, not). If that wasn't weird enough, the great man posted another shot on this very day that could pose an even more troubling question. What if Team Editors actually put in an order for several replicas? In the snap below, Rahi obviously hasn't completed work on this particular Clone Tom's face yet:-
I have so many questions. Is Mr Smith actually on a Duran Duran style yacht right now, floating somewhere hot and chuckling to himself ,while we all believe he's in the UK and its currently crappy winter weather getting ready to return? Could there be cloning afoot, and if so what do they eat? Is there a glum, moody conspiracy at work? Is any of this libellous? Watch the footage and decide for yourselves, true believers.
Come up to the lab, and see Tom on a slab
