Acting
Disinformation, AKA Disinfo Nation, was a television show hosted by Richard Metzger. It aired for two seasons on Channel 4 in the UK as part of their late night "4Later" block. Called a "punk rock 60 Minutes" and "wilder than Jackass" by the Los Angeles Times and Wired magazine, the sixteen 30-minute episodes produced for C4 were then cut down to four one-hour "specials" intended for the SciFi Channel in America, but never aired due to their controversial nature. According to interviews, Metzger was told just twelve days prior to the first specials' air-date that he would have to cut 50% of the material to pass USA Network's lawyers' scrutiny. Those four shows have been released on DVD with a bonus disc presenting highlights of DisinfoCon, a twelve hour event featuring shock rocker Marilyn Manson, Kenneth Anger, Joe Coleman, Douglas Rushkoff, Mark Pesce, Grant Morrison, Robert Anton Wilson and others.

Out of the spiritual chaos of the 1960s, more strange cults and unorthodox messiahs have emerged than ever. Charles Manson is seen as the annoying result of libertarianism of the 1960s - the Cain who murdered the Abel from The Love Generation. Or in the words of one commentator; "the Elvis of alienation."
