HELP! I'VE BEEN FADED!
| 
Apr 1 02:15 UTC 1996 |
Alright. Since when paranormality merchandicable? All of asudden I've been seen
er seeing the paranormal stuff that I've been interested in for years become a
fad. A few years ago if you were to start talking about this sort of thing you'
d just get looked at funny. Now it's compareable to alternative music! What's
going on?

Alternative music: music listened to by people who hate mainstream commercial
music just like every single other person they know...

Slowly but surely the para-fad has been growing. I suppose the most obvious
finger to point would be in the face of FOX with shows like Encounters: The
Hidden Truth and The X-Files alnog with specials like that Roswell Autopsy
thing. NBC has been on the andwagon for a while now too with Sightings and
their series of specials Ancient Prophecies. You could go with the theroy
that the public eats what they are fed on TV or even make a play for "end
of the millennium" hysteria. If you ask me, the rising population along with
the web/net has made is possible for heaps of people to access whatever
little bug might be in their ear at the time. Aint teknolidgie grate!

you think

I suppose you can't say this is all bad, there have been some good para-fad
shows on lately. The only problem is that they never last very long. The latest
one I've been watching is Kindred: the Embraced, it's a neet one about
vampires, very love-sick avenging cop meets X-files meets Melrose Place.

or as of awhile ago, The Zone: the dead confrence
THIS IS PATHETIC, I haven't read this in a while and we haven't gotten many
responses. fws, go advertise. there is an x-files RAGE going on, with a
little advertisement we should be able to get a decent number of people.
That's what fws do. That is why they exist. <Kain is willing to fw if more
are nedded>

What if you were walking down the street in downtown Toronto and a tall man
in a blue suit and a skinny yellow tie ran past you and crashed in to the
shopping cart of some poor unfortunate street dweller and all the contents
went flying all over the side walk and as you are helping the poor unfortunate
pick up their belongings the man in the blue suit turned to you and asks "Have
you any kumquats?" it would be relevant then wouldn't it?
