defrogITEM [via Threat Level]: Currently making the rounds on conspiracy radio shows: video proof that those govt-subsidized digital TV converters come with hidden cameras and mikes to spy on you.
The video, of course, has already been proven a hoax, and the guy who made the video freely admits it was all a joke, and that he cobbled together the evidence with spare cell-phone parts and a hot-glue gun in about five minutes.
Still, the DTV Surveillance conspiracy was circulating well before he came up with the hoax video (and was in fact where he got the idea in the first place), and since when did irrefutable evidence to the contrary get in the way of a good conspiracy theory?
I like to watch,
This is dF
