The movie, Hi Breasil, listed in the H section of The Bagpipes go to the Movies , is a ringer. I created it out of the whole cloth during the winter-solstice holiday of 1996. The image was fabricated in Photoshop with the aid of a two-foot high ceramic piper made for me by a local artisan, a picture of a real piper, and a background lifted from an Easter-Island photograph of a real moais. This dummy movie listing was created both as a satire of how the other movies listed treat the pipes, and as a satire of how this page treats those movies.
A year passed between the time that Hi Breasil was added to the list and the posting of this explanation. During all of that time, not one person wrote me to complain that it seemed to be a fake and that I had been bamboozled by whomever had submitted it in to me. Ah well, the truth is out and mea culpa.
