My good friend Eric emailed me a story not too long ago. The story was about a secret underclass of people who were kidnapped as babies and reared to be slaves for the American upper class. It focused primarily on the slave serving Rupert Murdoch; it was a pretty good story.

Unfortunately for Eric, it turns out his story is basically true (Latimes.com registration via bugmenot -- latimes18485; latimes18485):

A Filipina who was awarded $825,000 in damages by a jury after alleging that she was held as an indentured servant by a movie industry executive and his wife says her dream is to remain in Los Angeles and to bring her husband and three children here from the Philippines.

A tearful Nena Ruiz, 60, said last week at a Koreatown news conference that she had not seen her family for four years, but that she was afraid to visit her homeland because she feared for her safety from "agents" of her former employers.

I'm just glad I'm not the only Zeitgeist Man.
