Conspiracy theorists are buzzing about this video, where a guy describes the weird encounter his colleagues had with two “men in black” who were asking strange questions about him. He even got some footage of them from the hotel’s security camera. Apparently these two absolutely identical men, in identical black suits, came into the hotel where he works and started asking everybody questions about him. Then, with no explanation, they simply left. Even if this is totally made up and/or viral marketing for the new Men in Black flick (or the new Observers-centric Fringe), it makes for a great story!

Remember OK Soda?
From the FW: Back in 1993, Coke attempted to connect with the disaffected members of Generation X through a soda that was just as snarky and “over it” as they were. With a trendy can designed by graphic novelists Charles Burns and Daniel Clowes, a pithy catchphrase (“Things Are Going to Be OK”) and a vaguely citrus-y taste, OK Soda was unleashed on a few markets around the country. The soda even came with a “manifesto,” with phrases like “What’s the point of OK? Well, what’s the point of anything?” printed on the can. Unsurprisingly, a soda featuring sad-looking Gen X-ers staring you down while you guzzle failed to connect with the public. Coke discontinued the beverage, but it has achieved something of a cult following on the Web.
I always thought it tasted like mop water. Not that I know what mop water tastes like. Shut up.
