Man, if that cabal/cannibal/pedo list (was here in one of the posts, cannot find it now, not sure even I want to atm), with all of those pop culture icons, prominent figures, proves to be true... I have some serious thinking to do, re-evaluate my movie and music collection... FFS some of those things shaped my personality growing up, the way I interact with people, some character traits that I am pretty proud of... Seriously, Tom Hanks... WTF?! And stupid fucking Friends show brought smile on my face through some pretty lost moments in my life. It's stupid, I know, but it would be completely dishonest to claim that pop culture did not affect us in significant way, at all... Something is seriously rotten in human nature.... Sorry for this rant, had to get it out...

I'm progressively getting aware that all the books I've read as a child, of evil monsters, vampires, witches eating children, tempting and corrupting people... where not just a fantasy, but rather archetypes for a reality I'm increasingly becoming aware of...
Roald Dahl knew, it’s in all his books and not a lot of love for the Royal Family. I think Ian Fleming knew, all the Bond Films with evil megalomaniac living in an underground bunker wanting to control the world.
And Chitty Chitty Bang Bang ( Roald Dahl and Cubby Broccoli-bond producer in 1968). Children being stolen taken to Vulgaria and being imprisoned by an evil child catcher” come children come I have lovely lollipops!.
I'm getting impression that all of those stories are based on something. Those character are archetypes, they are based in reality...
Software companies always turn into shells of their former self. Developers move on new developers move in, people change constantly. It's a great trick of companies to associate quality with the name, when everyone involved in that quality has already left.
