Fusion Paranoia

Fusion Paranoia is a term used to describe the indiscriminate assimilation of information into a wider (conspiracy) theory. It needn't have any correlation to established elements of the theory in question. It might, even, be pure speculation.
And it is rampant within the tin-foil-hat-wearing, black-helicopter-watching community.

Take, for instance, two simple holes in the South Pole, spotted with Google Earth. What could they be? Glacial artefacts? No! Sink holes? No! Dark, overshadowed bedrock, giving the illusion of depth? NO!
OBVIOUSLY, they're entrances to a vast network of underground tunnels.
Used by aliens, of course, on their regular refuelling stops. Sometimes they take the time to influence our government and blow up buildings in New York.
I'm not making this up, by the way:

I didn't think it could get much worse than this, until I saw...





That's right... Those are fucking clouds.

Sigh... It's not easy, you know, debunking these conspiracy theories. Hours upon hours spent analysing every minute detail of each video...

I'm gonna do more on this topic soon, it's very fun.

CopperCab, the tool



I don't like calling people idiots. I prefer to see them as having a slightly skewed outlook on the world. But CopperCab, subject of the infamous "GINGERS HAVE SOULS!" video, truly is an idiot. He believes that -

- Being ginger is a serious social affliction and very much above big noses, acne or gimp legs in terms of amount of abuse received.

- South Park, despite constant, relevant messages of tolerance and equal rights, do in fact have something against his 'people', and encourage their alienation.
Also, that the promo which featured Cartman giving his rendition of CopperCab's 'souls' rant, was designed as an inside joke with only himself in the exclusion zone, "Did you not think that I would see? I saw... the damn commercial on TV... If an episode about me, or my people airs, I will be... I will be... I will be livid, all right?"

- M.I.A's shock video, 'Born Free', which features gingers being hunted and routinely expolded or otherwise killed, is a call to arms for non-gingers... Rather than a run-of-the-mill allegory for trivial non-acceptance of minorities and subsequent 'cleansing'.

- Unfunny, effeminate, and narcissistic Youtuber Michael Buckley (aka WHATTHEBUCKSHOW), should be shouted at for using the term 'firecrotch' in a review of Twilight: Eclipse, and then making a surprisingly fair follow-up video in his own defence. Despite his grating personality, Michael should be complimented for making the point that no one group is immune to mockery.
CopperCab shouted anyway.

He just doesn't seem to get it. If he thinks he's alleviating the 'plight' of his 'people', then he's sadly mistaken. He is, in fact, the web generation's ginger pariah.
Maybe us gingers really are deplorable genetic abominations...
Can I get a genocide here?
