Brainwashing

This is filed in the 'truth is stranger than fiction' dept. as stories emerge in the MSM about mini-celebrities 'losing it' on air, and speaking gibberish, along with a tale of a well-known actress admitting to being brainwashed by a man who later went on to work for the CIA and MK-Ultra experiements - which are getting a lot of attention lately in the blogosphere:

PS As mentioned before, I'll admit that the Daily Mail is not exactly a source with the highest reputation, but these stories can be found in many other places, and are surfacing more regularly. I suggest they're making the Daily Mail headlines as they involve celebrities, which will tittilate the masses, whilst the under-lying information is not taken on board.
