Anything which distracts people from focusing on real issues or standing up against tyrants by causing us to spin around the axle battling back untruths like these being repeated by bad actors and other badly confused individuals 

I'm starting to think (as I learn more about it) it might just be a business idea that's somehow envisioned a pool of possible target customers in both idiotic conspiracy nuts and educated, if sarcastic, anti-conspiracy fellows alike. At this point, I just don't know.

I strive to understand how much of these snowballing processes is intentional, and how much is just serendipity on the part of the person setting the merchandising business in motion. There is no doubt the potential (intentional or not) to manipulate people's minds for political reasons. But the business element is undeniable.

It's audubon.org, @Sensei. Nevertheless, I see your point. I can't edit my post now. If admins think it'd better be deleted, it's OK with me.

🤣 I shudder to think of negative birds, if they don't pick the proper phase!

Alfred Hitchcock gave us a preview of what that would be like.

No, we won't be doing that. It would anger the Audubon society, and they would instigate Operation Hitchcock, with me playing Tippi Hedren's role. (again. I was dive-bombed by a B1rd some years ago)

If the Byrds weren't real, how did Dylan make his voice so melodious ?

Funny, but I think you've misspelled 'melodious' rather than 'Byrds'.

It's crazy how people would believe that such majestic creatures as these aren't real.

I wouldn't say a touch of genius, but definitely a clever one.

Yeah, they can look amazingly realistic but mimicking flight or any real locomotion gives away the game lol.

Heh heh, I admit you had me going there, with these excellent (CIA?) robots.

But where is the Turkey X 500?

lol, yeah, they're super realistic. They're from the Spy in the Wild series.

They're pretty fun to watch, though nobody has been worried about spying on a turkey... yet...
