6 Insane Conspiracies Hiding Behind Non-Profit Groups

Quote:

Not a day goes by that you won't hear an ad or message from some well-meaning group called the "Council for (insert good cause here)" or "Concerned Citizens for (whatever) or "The _______ Committee for Responsible ________." They sound like charity groups, and they're always advocating for some kind of common-sense cause, from stopping littering to quitting smoking.

It all seems like the kind of thing only a total dick would complain about. And that's the idea; behind many of them are big-money interests trying to hijack your goodwill for their own, usually greedy, purposes.

Honest opinion?

Not really worth the click to be honest. :nope:

Meh, i thought it was interesting. But then again, this is a humor and satire site we're talking about. Fits my disposition. :O:

I thought it was a good read, Ducimus. Truth is the most effective satire.

I didn't like that one all that much, but it did get me reading a bunch of others.

For an hour.

Your evil plot succeeded.

D'OH!

Hehe, the joys of Cracked :D

The one that I definitely ran into was the psychiatry one. I was kind of disturbed when Scientologists managed to rent a whole building in town here, right on the other side of the street from city hall, and make it an exhibition about the dangers of psychiatry. :-?
