Into All That

So, having been kind of remiss with the whole blog maintenance thing and feeling itchy to just get *something* up, I’ve been debating whether or not to post this video, billed as the unofficial video for the band Zombie Zombie: a recreation of John Carpenter’s The Thing using GI Joe action figures:

Ultimately, I decided not to post it. Why? I suppose it boils down to something akin to journalistic integrity (kindly note the strong influence of something akin in that phrase). As much as I enjoy quality entertainment like this discussion between David and texas buddha, I don’t believe there’s anyone out there that thinks Hitler actually recruited Bigfoot to serve in the SS (because if he had, duh, the Allies would have lost). That is to say, it is a work of fiction.

By contrast, the stories I set out to cover fall into that space between fiction and verifiable fact. Existence of the moon? Fact. Composition of the moon including cheese? Fiction. Moon landing being an elaborate hoax? Fiction. Arguments supporting the idea that the moon landing was an elaborate hoax? Damn good reading.

So, that established, please ignore the above video.
