Oh, I love this! It's a far better spoof than I could do, because these guys are (apparently) using science to perpetrate it! I love how they've proven the hats actually amplify outgoing signals in certain government spectra, and suggest the government might be behind the tinfoil hat craze for that reason.

Damn! A spoof, is it? I didn't realize....

Now I've got to go and buy a roll of tinfoil -- I wadded all my hats up and threw them in the trash when I finished reading the article -- I don't think that's funny!
