Heard on Metafilter: ‘Former BBC anchor David Ickes, who claimed he was “the son of god” in 1991 has got a new job at the Sci-Fi channel ranting. In Network, anchor Howard Beale has an on air nervous breakdown. Instead of taking him off the air, the network gives him a weekly show to rant to the nation. Oddly, Icke’s idea about reality is very similar to Philip K. Dick’s Valis, Grant Morrison’s The Invisibles and a recent mefi discussion.’ The Guardian asks, also about Ickes: “Would Canada take seriously his warnings of power-hungry extraterrestrial reptiles or would he be dismissed as an anti-Semitic bigot?”
