Personally, I can't think of a more perfect article for our Weird & F'd up section than this extensive look at "TIs", people completely convinced they're victims of government-sponsored mind control. As with most people with very very esoteric interests, the internet is finally allowing them to find each other and organize in a way that brings more attention to their cause. While long, the article is still quite good. The descriptions of the victims' experiences are particularly compelling.

Don't get me wrong, I still think they're loons. But if finding someone who believes as whole-heartedly as you do that The Government is beaming messages into your head is what keeps you from eating a bullet or a whole bottle of pills in one sitting, I don't necessarily think it's all bad. As long as you stay out of trouble, pay your taxes, and keep off my lawn, you can believe in any damned fool thing you want. Just like the rest of us.

Except for me. I know the only reasonable choice of vehicle is an Alfa Romeo. The reason the rest of you don't own one is because you're all on the government's payroll.

Hey! Quit throwing rocks! I'm out here on the street, haven't set foot in your lawn!
