This is the interesting and exciting blog of Christop - one of the 84 000-or-so people of Ballarat.

Yesterday, at the end of my Issues with in TV lecture, Karen Dean (the lecturer) said that half of the evidence she'd used to argue that TV is a consipracy was from unreliable sources, and another quater was just made up. Her point was that people think there's a conspiracy, even though they're not sure what it is, and they want to believe (just like Mulder).
At Turn Left they have a conspiracy theory generator, which Karen showed us:

What They Don't Want You to Know
In order to understand the collapse of Clag you need to realize that everything is controlled by a international terrorist group made up of transparent, plastic cups with help from Ballarat Sailing Club.
The conspiracy first started during the Eureka stockade in Ballarat. They have been responsible for many events throughout history, including the Great Depression.
Today, members of the conspiracy are everywhere. They can be identified by making lots of noise at the cinema.
They want to kill Big Kev and imprison resisters in a Nike store using a forklift.
In order to prepare for this, we all must wear steel-capped moccassins. Since the media is controlled by Mr T we should get our information from the coffee and cake club.
