Contest: ENTER Misc Avatar Contest: Conspiracy Theory!

[Avro Arrow]

This may go over like a lead balloon, but let's try it and see how it goes...

I've always been fascinated by conspiracy theories. Not that I believe them, but I find it entertaining to hear some of the imaginative things people come up with... the more crazily outlandish, the better!

Your entry for this contest should be an image that illustrates or touches on a conspiracy theory, or an image of something that has a conspiracy theory about it.

Entries should be no larger than 200 x 200 pixels, and no larger than 1 GB if animated. Some media images will be allowed this time, as long as it is from a news program, or a, ahem, "documentary".

Contest will be open for approximately one week. Have fun!

(Yes, I did sort of get my inspiration for this topic from certain posts around the board today. I'll leave the determination of which ones as an exercise for the reader... )

Can't wait to get home to get started.

Crop Circles. Because people are fucking stupid.

 

[Avro Arrow]

Nice entries so far, all!

I originally had it as 1 MB, but obviously the Illuminati changed it to further their goal of world domination. Somehow.

Seriously... sorry about that. Max animated size is 1 MB.

Know Your Meme says yes. Sorry.

Aw, man-- Apollo, The Beatles, JFK-- all my favorite conspiracies are taken.

Well, how about this:

Looks like I'm going to have to buy Abbey Road again.

Wow. They gave the aliens their own center. How nice of them!

This should cover pretty much everything:

 

[auntiehill]

[batshitcrazy] You mean "cover UP" everything. [/batshitcrazy]

Mine is 9/11, though I don't believe in any of conspiracy theories. There are a lot of people who do, though.

Hey, did you hear? NASA found irrefutable proof of a previous civilization on Mars, and they're totally covering it up!

Because NASA hates extra funding *that* much!

 

[RJDiogenes]

Wow. They gave the aliens their own center. How nice of them!

It's good for the economy.

I have a more local one to offer, back from 2002:

it's a bit small, I'm afraid. To enjoy it in its full glory please go here
IMO one of the best conspiracies/legpulling ever on TrekBBS

I'd love to hear the story behind that one.

^It was just a tiny footnote in the infamous 2002 troll wars. L was totally paranoid about the board being infested by evil trolls whos only goal was presumed to be hijacking accounts and damaging the board. The only solution she could think of was suspecting and permabanning everyone for the most trivial reasons. One day a non-troll faked the above cited ban of Lisa herself. We all got a good laugh out of it but I strongly suspect L consequently banned the ingenious poster.
Poetic detail: none of the banned suspects ever hijacked accounts or hacked into the Briefing Room. However, the complete BR was copied and leaked out by RobL, self-acclaimed prince of TrollKingdom, whom L herself had made an admin. Let this be a warning example for the dangers of massive coffee consumption!
