You mean Microsoft wasn't involved in 9/11? Liar!

Yeah, yeah yeah. It's all very viral and metafictional and Phil Dick-ian. Unfortunately I exert too much time and energy making my own life interesting to bother with a ficticious one.
Any chance I can gets the ads for this shit out of my comics?

The question that is most interesting to me about all this is:
If a viral marketer falls and cracks his skull in the forest and fluffy isn't there to hear it, does the fracture make a noise?

Jesse, you forgot to mention one of the other weird pre-echoes of 9/11: the pilot episode of the ill-fated X-Files spin-off, "The Lone Gunmen." See details here and here.
In short, the episode deals with the Lone Gunmen trying to stop a secret government plot to hijack a plane in order to crash it into the World Trade Center, and subsequently blame it on Islamic terrorists so as to justify starting new wars in Middle Eastern countries.

(Not your religion, dear reader. That one's the unvarnished truth. I'm referring to all the others.)
Best parenthetical comment I've seen in a long while.

Sounds like more people should watch Serial Experiments Lain. Some of what he's talking about sounds rather like what Phantoma (from the show) turned out to be...

Oh, and as far as the constant paranoia goes... There's long been a pen-and-paper RPG titled Paranoia. Best rulebook ever. Very fun game.
