The ease with which video can be spread through the internet has given rise of late to something which is not a new genre, but newly accessible... The Conspiracy Documentary. Rattle has quite a collection of these things. Some are reasonable enough to bubble up into pop culture, some are crazy enough to be entertaining in the way that B horror movies are.
Well, I did have quite a collection of these things. My external media drive had about 120GB of conspiracy documentaries before it suddenly died, undoubtedly because the conspiracy had concluded that I knew too much. For anyone who is interested, Conspiracy Central is the best place to get your fix. Diving into the Conspiracy Documentary genre is a great way to exercise your "bullshit filter". Some of these contain some very interesting information, but are riddled with conjecture, often misrepresent facts, etc... They tend to be amazing examples of propaganda technique.
