Warning: this shit is absurd, and some is notoriously nsfw. Basically if you just want to see some weird, terrible, pointless, time consuming stuff proceed.
Over the years you run across some strange things. I'm just wondering what you guys have run across. Some phenomenons I've encountered:
"Anonymous"

http://www.encyclopediadramatica.com/Anonymous
I haven't heard too much about Anonymous as a definite group for a while, but it seems they have gained a pretty good movement. There were protests around the globe on feb 28 as well as march 15 both this year where they gathered to combat the clutches of Scientology: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=erbXsAA5Q9o more on this channel from Anonymous: http://www.youtube.com/user/AnonymousTelevision

This has been one of the more vile ends of the internet. Anonymous spawned from here as well it seems. The place is crazy, it's a load of things. It's hard to describe my perception of this place. People are immature, blunt, disgusting, and it seems like a lot of people are growing up with this kind of stuff as a baseline. I've been thinking about how porn has shown us how vulgar many more people of the world are. I mean kids are growing up with increasingly coarse language, ideas, and such. I don't think I'm much of an exception to that, but the onset has been slower to adopt. As for the values here, I don't know that it makes things worse but it makes things more transparent or apparent.

This stuff is pretty absurd. I think I saw this stuff years ago in high school. It seems it's an attempt to deviate from normality in a way that brings interconnectedness. There is an undercurrent of accepting laziness, praise of absurdity, and just awkward nonsensical preachings.

I just found out about this last night. So basically there are a few people in South Africa who are on this whole new age religious conspiracy theorist thing spawned by this guy named David Icke. They believe that they are channeling consciousnesses through them. There is quite a bit of terminology and they mix up many strange things like the reptilians, astral projection, dream states, and more.
