I previously linked to the Mad Revisionist as the ultimate in satirical lunacy. Yes, that's right. The Mad Revisionist denies the existence of the moon. At last, I thought, a refutation of Poe's law. No one could possibly take this seriously. And when I see on Facebook someone arguing that it is the height of arrogance to dismiss any belief as to crazy to consider, I offered a link to the Mad Revisionist to show that, yes, some ideas really are not worth considering.
So imagine my surprise recently when one of the crazies I see on Facebook said, "The north stars, Mars, ORion's Belt and the big dipper are not stars. They have electronic fields surrounding them that appear as changing arrays of red, blue, green and orange. rotating colors ~ every 2secs or so." And she received the answer, "I'm wondering why we have not noticed this effect before!!!!! Is it possible that they've camouflaged these stars somehow, maybe via holographic projection from satellites?"
So, no one is disputing the existence of the moon just yet. But apparently some people believe that the North Star, Mars, Orion's Belt and the Big Dipper are hoaxes!
Poe, you are a genius!
