A child who shot his parents pled guilty and faces 20 years in prison. His defense was going to be, get this, that he thought he was in the alternate reality of "The Matrix". Sounds like a load of crap to me. Like a jury would have believed that. Now, I'm not going to advocate anyone killing their parents by any means, although who hasn't wanted to at one time or another? But if you're gonna do it, come up with something kind of plausible like,  "my Dad was trying to rape me" or, "they made me sleep in the mud with the dog" or "they made me live in a closet under the stairs". You're already in deep doodoo, you're gonna go and make it worse by claiming you're too stupid to tell the difference between a movie and real life? Gimme a break. Funny, I don't remember Neo shooting his dad in the movie....
