We were patiently waiting for the latest news regarding Bush’s recent executive order banning war protests to hit the main stream so we could spoof the situation. It didn’t happen. Aside from a few mentions here and there, this story just didn’t make the front page.
There are too many continuing accounts of the unexplained to ignore them all. This is one of my all time favourites. The police officers are a large factor in assessing its authenticity to some, but they can also be argued as being ‘stooges’, the oldest tools in trickery.
