This whole thing just blows my mind. You must read this story. It’s entertaining and scary all at once. It’s even oddly comforting to a certain extent… but mostly scary (and entertaining). Sorry to make light of it all, but it’s quite amusing. I think the author knows that, and was part of the motivation for sharing.

Reading it floored me. I mean how crazy is this story? I can’t do it justice by framing or summarizing… Just go read it:
…even the stars are ill at ease.
I’m still waiting for part 2. For real.
So kids, be careful quoting random song lyrics or movie lines on Facebook, Twitter, Google+, or whatever’s next. The FBI is watching you. Or, don’t be careful and make your next highly political crust punk band J. Edgar Twitter or Facebook’em. Make songs titles as provoking as possible. Maybe you’ll get some agents to come to shows.
