What do we do with these people? Taped on the road at Brick Road Pizza Company (1017 Wealthy SE, a block and a half west of the IGE office).

Click the triangle pointing right to watch "Conspiracy," videotaped Oct. 2, 2008.

Do you have a favorite conspiracy theory? Are you interested in alerting your fellow humans to the nefarious plots hatched by sinister secretive covens who huddle in underground bunkers or penthouse boardrooms, conniving evil machinations aimed at enslaving the foolish gullible hordes? If you are one of the enlightened few who have discovered this crucial knowledge, here’s your chance to inform literally dozens, maybe even hundreds, of your neighbors here in Grand Rapids, and billions more who have access to the internet. COME WITH US. The information you possess may be the last missing link that helps us put it all together in order to figure out what is REALLY GOING ON. <End of transmission> fnord
