Mystery Science Theater Turns 20

RimmerExperience writes "Hard to believe that Mystery Science Theater 3000 is 20 years old. This NY Times article provides a brief synopsis from the humble but inspired beginnings in a Midwest TV studio, to the making of MST3K: The Movie, to what the creators are up to today. It's interesting that the original creators are still involved in MST3K-style riffing in some way. So if you are looking for your traditional Turkey Day fix, plug in your old VHS, tune into BitTorrent or check out their current projects — Riff Trax (Mike Nelson) or Cinematic Titanic (Joel & Trace). Keep circulating the tapes, er, MPEGs."

    Slashdot's even worse.

    How come Goatse links are mysteriously posted on the same days I fist my ass? Why am I always eating Mexican food while CmdrTaco's posting stories? Why is every other story about how somebody's spying on computers?

    There's a sprawling conspiracy of fecal-freaks after me, and possbibly you too.
