As we conduct our vigilant search for the Fake David Cross — a vile imposter who claims to be the actor so he can score free drinks and easy women — we're finding that reality is not absolute, and the truth of reality is inextricable from the reality of truth. Or something.

The reader claims that this picture, taken on Halloween, depicts the Real David Cross. And we'd like more than anything than to believe it — but, if anything, this twisted manhunt has killed our ability to believe in anything anymore.
