    The website is called “FootPrint” … affiliated with Zeta Vincent and Foot?

      I’m really, really hoping for a team-up here.

      Appropriately, the wifi tower is also now called “footprint”.

      Man, if I was teamed up with Foot, the two of us would leave the WEIRDEST crop-circles in the history of cereology! <3

    Well, technically they’re no longer part of the shadow government so he’s still correct about the shadow government leaving no trace. ^_^

    Is this an analogy for watching C-SPAN?

    Is someone suffering from reality blindness capable of seeing a show discussing reality blindness?

      What about the host suffering from self-same reality blindness 😛

      Judging from Dave Davenport’s comments as a guest on just such a show many years ago, I’d say no. Well, not this soon, anyway. After a few more years, it’d be like discussing Bigfoot or Nessie. There’s enough “evidence” for some people to believe, but not enough solid evidence to convince everyone.

      And I don’t think this host is reality blind. If they were, they shouldn’t be able to even acknowledge the concept of reality blindness yet. At the very least, they wouldn’t be able to discuss it in a rational manner.

        I think consensus is that the reality blindness plague doesn’t effect people who already have a ridiculously abnormal standard for what is “believable.” Some pirate radio dude who believes in flying saucers and men in black and the Secret Government (correctly) and polar flips and the hollow Earth probably is a candidate for immunity.

      This reminds me of that one guy from Starbuck Avenger who loved superheroes but was prevented from coming directly into contact with anything weird by the Coverup. Of course, the Coverup and Reality Blindness work in a fundamentally different way, so if this guy actually knows about Reality Blindness it’s unlikely for him to have more than a very light case.

      I think it’s a case of an irrational person managing to be right.

      Well, Sweetheart once referred to herself as “Floor 19 Captain”, so it’s at least 19 stories. I don’t know if there was ever any indication of how many floors might have been above Skin Horse.

        I think 19 may be the top floor. I seem to remember the Department of Irradiation was on the 6th floor, with Jetpack Suppression being on a higher floor

      This one is so Jeff though. My innovation was putting it a conspiracy video channel run by the robot foot from Narbonic.

    Would this be an example of not seeing an individual tree for scanning the forest (and exhorting others to do the same)?

    • awgiedawgie

      Or maybe just not being able to see anything because you’re wearing such dark sunglasses.

    It seems a bit ambiguous whether conspiracy guy looks out the window, sees Mecha-Annex One and doesn’t notice it because reality blidnness, and goes back to work — or just turns partway in his chair and shouts at the window without looking out, or glances out and doesn’t see it because it’s already passed.

      To me, it looks like the guy is so busy spouting his conspiracy theories that he doesn’t notice a giant building/ robot stomping past the window. (Besides, his back is turned, but still…)
