Looney lady gets restraining order against Letterman

CNN.com – Letterman subject of restraining order – Dec 21, 2005

I saw this on CNN.com and couldn’t resist posting it. I learned all about an effect called hyperreality in my journalism classes, but this goes beyond that right into full-on delusional behavior. This chick aparently wrote a love note to Letterman and actually believes he’s been talking to her, in code, via his nightly broadcasts since then. (since 1994) I mean, I feel bad for her, but it really is funny. The fact that she even got the restraining order is amazing. (though it doesn’t say much for our legal system…)
