Apollo landings not a hoax but a decoy!!

Ladies and gentlemen,

I give to you the looniest conspiracy theory since the dawn of man (except possibly the one about the Teletubbies being part of the KGB mind control program)

Alternative 3!

The world government has been spiriting away our best and brightest to Mars so that they will survive the upcoming ecological disaster. All that Apollo stuff was just a decoy to explain all the spaceships going up and down. The fact that this vast conspiracy involving thousands of Americans and Russians was unearthed by a local TV station in England just goes to prove how successful the cover up was.

Undaunted by their exposure, the conspiritors then claimed that the documentary itself was a fake. They pointed out that the show was copyrighted on April 1 1977. Of course, as in all conspiracies, subsequent admissions by all concerned that the whole thing was made up as a joke are proof of the cover up.

Does anyone have any better conspracy theories? (Holocaust deniers please crawl under a bed and post elsewhere - this is supposed to be funny :D)

The moon hoax conspiracy is my favourite stoopid one, so thanks for the links (I haven’t had a chance to look at it yet, but I will).

It’s actually funny you bring this up - I was at a party yesterday with mostly people I don’t know, and two of the blokes there were talking about crackpot conspiracy theories - I thought that they were nuts, until I realised they were actually both fiction writers, and were making them up. They were all the usual CIA is putting drugs in Vegemite sort of theories, but it was hysterical to hear their back and forth exchange, building up the theory each time, and making it more improbable.

The sad thing is, there are thousands of people in the world who will believe these stories 100% if they’re published, even if I tell them I was there when they were made up :stuck_out_tongue:
