Hypnovibes emitted by space aliens and governments have the power to distort our brainwaves and turn us into sheeple. Everyone knows that. Just like everyone knows Aluminum Foil Deflector Beanies are the best way to repel electromagnetic psychotronic mind control carriers.
The problem? Conventional Reynolds Wrap caps do not look cool. BoingBoing reader Eric's "premiere designer tinfoil hat" website showcases a smorgasbord of fully protective models in the fashion of fezzes, Jewish skullcaps, and Ashton Kutcher trucker caps. Turn that tinfoil hat into tinfoil phat! Link
Reader comment: Carsten says,
ironically, an M.I.T study revealed that tin foil hats seem to amplify rather than block certain frequency bands:
"Among a fringe community of paranoids, aluminum helmets serve as the protective measure of choice against invasive radio signals. We investigate the efficacy of three aluminum helmet designs on a sample group of four individuals. Using a $250,000 network analyser, we find that although on average all helmets attenuate invasive radio frequencies in either directions (either emanating from an outside source, or emanating from the cranium of the subject), certain frequencies are in fact greatly amplified. These amplified frequencies coincide with radio bands reserved for government use according to the Federal Communication Commission (FCC). Statistical evidence suggests the use of helmets may in fact enhance the government's invasive abilities. We speculate that the government may in fact have started the helmet craze for this reason."

Love the aluminum foil fez post, Xeni! But I must point out that my buddy Gus may have pioneered the concept of the foil fez back in '03:
