Jonestown was some crazy shit.

My faux-guild in Guild Wars (I was the only member) was named the "Jim Jone Fun Aid Fan Club." I know about Jonestown, but it seems such a detached experience. Perhaps because I was not alive at the time to actually see the news reports.

Rachel Maddow talks with Fred Francis, the first reporter to discover the Jonestown massacre.

Just say "NO!" to cults.


*small note: Despite popular belief, Kool Aid was not used to dispense cyanide at Jonestown. It was actually a generic Kool Aid alternative called Fun Aid.
