Richard Roeper's New Book DEBUNKED!

Wednesday, July 2, 2008

I attended a book release party last week at Otom for Chicago Sun-Times Columunist and co-host of "At the Movies",Richard Roeper. His new book DEBUNKED! Conspiracy Theories, Urban Legends, And Evil Plots of the 21st Century is a breezy but fact-filled dissection of more than two dozen of the most popular urban legends and conspiracy theories of the 21st century. How many people do we know that always has some sort of out of whack and illogical theory about the most recent events that have happened, whether tragic or triumphant. To some folks, there is always a cover up or secret being with held from the public that makes the event questionable and unbelievable. From conspiracy theories such as the melt down of the WTC during 9/11 to man landing on the moon, and Barack Obama's Muslim secret, Roeper "Debunks!" illogical suggestions and sets the record straight.

It's also very easy for such conspiracy theories to make it's way around cyberspace and plant a seed of doubt based on unproven facts. If you're on a million email lists like I am, then you've received countless videos and articles about such things; Mostly from that one friend who is the lead conspiracy theorists. Most of the time they're very entertaining and interesting to watch and read, but for those that more easily influenced they're real. Check out what Richard has to say about "The Secret", Princess Di, grilled cheese, and American Idol, and compare your theories with those that are out there.
