One comment supplies the answer: > [@](#): > > Its called MPEG artifact. It occurs during the encoding process of digital video. Basically it tries to recognize a collection of pixels as being similar in each frame. When there is a change in this area some of the previous pixels from the previous frames remain. This actually is what started the whole double-eye-lid talk ever since digital media came in to play using these compression methods. You cannot get them with film. If you remember the transition to digital it occurred prior MIB and they poked fun at this in the first film with an alien with two eye-lids. ---

Just saw on the news that the Beib might be moving out of his house. I would hire a HS band to march behind the moving vans if I was his neighbor. ---

The petition to deport him has over 200,000 signatures. > **[The White House](https://www.whitehouse.gov)** > > President Biden and Vice President Harris promised to move quickly to deliver results for working families.

The Canadians have already apologized repeatedly for Brian Adams and Celine Dion…it’s unlikely we’ll gain concessions from them over Justin Bieber. What’s this all aboot anyway? ---
