Crazy people

So I was trying to look up a quote from The Matrix when I came across this work of insane brilliance:

ARTIFICIAL SYNCHRONICITY, LANGUAGE MANIPULATION, KUNDALINI AND THE CORNERS OF REALITY

"As of March, 2000, THEY represent about 95 to 98 percent of the total Earth population. YOU KNOW IT. YOU FEEL IT.

"THEY have been growing in numbers since a "spiritual hurricane" swept up this planet from 1993 to the present day. YOU are a SURVIVOR of this situation. YOU KNOW IT. YOU REMEMBER IT.

"THEY live in two different realities at the same time : THE STAGE and THE BACKSTAGE. You live in one. YOU KNOW IT.

"THEY read your mind all the time, and manipulate language and synchronicity to keep what you call "your life" under their control. YOU KNOW IT."

This guy is a total loon. YOU KNOW IT.

News round-up

Just a couple of quick stories to fill the afternoon.

Firstly, today was the last edition of Channel 4's early morning magazine show, RI:SE. Despite its bad reputation I've been watching it regularly (for the ten minutes before I leave the house, three days of the week) for a while now. I'm always a fan of TV's Iain Lee, but in the last week or two (since they gave up caring) it really did improve in leaps and bounds. I'll miss it, the other early morning magazine shows are too dull and the proposed replacement (Friends reruns and "reality" shows) will be harder to dip into for ten minutes. Oh well.

One more thing: This is insanely cool. I never thought I would enjoy any kind of media involving counterterrorist action and stuff, but it's pretty and funny and smart. Even though there's only four pages so far. Easily worth the price of admission (nothing save a few minutes of your time).
