The Wyoming Incident/333-333-333 Videos:

About a year ago videos that claimed to be a part of the "The Wyoming Incident" began to appear on YouTube.

This was only a few months after the Eon8 scare (http://wiki.ytmnd.com/EON8), so people were very interested in these (sometimes disturbing) videos:





There are more, as well. All of them were uploaded by the YouTube user NotAgentClark (http://youtube.com/user/NotAgentClark).

People, like with Eon8, went ballistic in their attempts at discovering what the videos were all about. They asked questions on a ton of message boards (I was Googling for the same answers, so I saw about a million of their posts), etc, etc.

Why I chose to blog on this subject is for this simple reason: because most people don't know about it. This leads be to believe that there's some sort of Internet "subculture" that only a few are connected with.

Why is this important? Because up until recently, this subculture stayed online. What happened online stayed online, as it were.

With Anonymous deciding to picket outside of Scientology's churches, however, the Internet is beginning to break loose of its confines. I get the feeling that those of us who are connected to this subculture will be getting more bold with out connections to it. Perhaps we will see the Internet affecting more than just our educational process or how we get the news or how we connect with our friends. Perhaps it will have a lasting impact on our culture.

And it might end up being a little creepy.
