Nominee: Mind Control Forum

Are you hearing little voices in your head? Did you ever tell the judge, "The devil made me do it"? Maybe you're not crazy. The folks at the Mind Control Forum are dedicated to "exposing and stopping involuntary neuro-electromagnetic human experimentation (in homes and communities)." They say the CIA and other cloak-and-dagger groups are actively using thought-controlling gizmos. The founder of the site, Ed Light, even offers what he claims are MRI scans of his own skull, which supporters say show he's been the victim of a sinister implant that might be controlling him via satellite. Just because The X-Files was canceled doesn't mean the truth is no longer out there, at least for the true believers. You can learn to check your own body for scars that may suggest you, too, are under control.

Nominee: All Your Base Are Belong To Us

Fans of the Zero Wing video-game phenomenon have helped make "All Your Base Are Belong To Us" an Internet phenomenon. Why the bad grammar? It's apparently because evil space aliens didn't score high on the verbal section of the SATs. Look closely at the images of cigarette ads, street signs and news headlines on this Flash-driven site. You'll see photographic "proof" that we're already under control of illiterate guys from outer space.

Nominee: Devices of Wonder

Just because you're an esteemed museum doesn't mean you can't match your weird Web site against those run by dorm-room freshmen with too much time and not enough adult supervision. The Getty Research Institute offers an extraordinary collection of objects, from the 17th century to the present, that demonstrate how old and new technologies converge. Starting with simple flip-card animations, the Flash-driven show examines how computer-driven special effects and optical illusions are creating the enthralling, albeit sometimes terrifying, images of tomorrow.
