Red Herrings

March 15, 2007

A young man recently posted a reply to my blog. To quote his mostly unintelligible comment:

I am dave dunn,why do u wanna know who i am? I dont get it. I am a celeb but yourreally hyping me up.

Disturbing, but not entirely unexpected.

There are men who sit in smoke filled rooms deciding the fate of the masses on a daily basis. The power these men yield relies on no small amount of discretion, and a blog like this is an enemy to that ideal. The meager offering here provides no immediate threat to their operations I am sure. Otherwise I might be expecting letter bombs rather than halfhearted attempts at misdirection.

Out of morbid curiosity I took a gander at the provided website. I’ve linked it here mostly to demonstrate a point. Please don’t misinterpret its presence as evidence of any kind in our ongoing investigation.

Is his name Dave Dunn? Probably. But is he Dave Dunn? Obviously not.

This is just another attempt to give some weaker individuals a false answer to that undying question. It should be noted, I do not presume that he is the mastermind of this plot to mislead us. Take a look at that vacant stare, eyes devoid of understanding, a single middle finger raised in iconic representation of his I.Q. score. It’s more likely that he is even unaware of his status as a single cog on the smallest gear within a labyrinthine machine.

Not much can be said for the puppetmaster pulling his strings.

Does this individual believe us so easily swayed, so naive, so inept in our calling that we should be fooled by this smokescreen? That we would believe for a moment Dave Dunn is nothing more than a self declared hip hop “celeb” with (at best) a tenuous grasp on the english language?

A message for our impotent foe:

Sir, your feeble attack does nothing save offend our collective intelligence. I suggest you turn back now. You’re playing with the big boys now.
