IIRC it was related to 9/11 conspiracy theories. At the time, a lot of conspiracy garbage was forwarded through chain e-mail. This is one of two examples that I personally remember getting forwarded from a particular aunt (the "Bush Hid the Facts" text disappearing being "proof" for the whole inside job theory it presumably alludes to). The sort of stuff that aunt would nowadays share on that Face Website. The other that I remember her sending me was along the lines of "OMG if you enter that planes flight number into MS Word 97 and set the font to Windings <variant whatever> you get a picture of a plane, two buildings, a skull and a Star of David!!1!eleven". On a side note: If you entered the right combination of text into Excel 97, you could fly a plane over a fractal landscape ;-) The kind of "logic" at work here is still used nowadays (e.g. the Sandy Hook school shooting conspiracy theory, with followers pointing towards the name appearing in a movie at the time). It still eludes me what the logic behind this is supposed to be. So if you plan a massive government conspiracy, you make sure to plant very precise, hidden clues all over the place in movies, TV shows, random office software and similar things years in advance, because... um.... why exactly?
