Recently I have been entertained and educated by people talking about social conditioning through the media. Have you ever thought about what you are watching when you see a movie? A good example of what I am talking about is how in the star trek movie's the whole universe is ruled by a morally perfect military class system. Or how in 'Battle Star Galactica' its the evil Cylons that believe in a single god and the 'good' humans are into polytheisms.
Also if you do some digging you will find that the X-files spin off show 'the lone gunmen' has an episode dedicated to the idea of terrorists flying planes into the twin towers, with the blessing of the government, and this episode aired years before the real event.
There are elements of truth hidden within these things, I have never come across an explanation of this that I have really believed but it happens, and today I came across a great example of it

the above is a link to an article that I found through twitter. You see the movie robo-cop was set in the not-so-distant future where private company's ruled pretty much every aspect of our lives through contracting. There was also a cyborg police officer but that's not the portion of the plot that I am interested in at the moment
when the movie was made they chose a specific variant of the ford range of cars to use a cop-cars in the story. Its the only time these cars have been used for this purpose, until now that is.
It was announced that in the coming months the police will be rolling out in the exact same variant of police car as the ones used in a now old movie.
Maybe pretty soon we will all be ruled by a military class system and worshipping Apollo. Never mind though, its probably another coincidence, as if!
