Neo from the Matrix shows up with actual information in real life, and thousands of Agent Smiths fall all over themselves trying to explain to each other why they have just cause to murder him.

Unfortunately analogies to The Matrix abound in the US these days. Most people get their information from 6 mainstream media corporations that were left(down from 50) after the 1996 Telecommunications Act eliminated restrictions on monopolies in media. That's 6 billionaires determining what everyone gets as news. So yeah, welcome to the matrix: red pill or blue?
