I finally got around to watching last week's episode of NBC's "The Office" last night, and was surprised to see a blatant false flag attack prominently featured in the script.
It is Episode 8 from Season 3, and is called "The Merger". If you want to watch it, it is available for purchase from the Apple iTunes Store for $1.99.

Hopefully those that are not fans of the show will be able to appreciate this review.

This particular episode is all about the Scranton branch of Dunder Mifflin Paper absorbing the employees of the now closed Stamford branch. Michael, the boss
of the Scranton branch, is doing his best to welcome his new employees and make them "feel like a part of the family".

Nothing seems to go his way (as usual) so near the end of the episode he resorts to a false flag attack to bring everyone together.

The scene starts with him running in from the parking lot frantically telling everyone that someone let all of the air out of everyone's car tires.

All of the employees go out to the parking lot, and, sure enough, the only car that still has air in the tires is Michael's car, because he was behind the whole thing.
Instead of letting the air out of Michael's car tires, the "perps" left a hate note on his car that says "You guys suck. You will never be able to come together as one
and avenge us because you guys suck." Michael blames the attack on a company called "Vance Refrigeration" and says all of the employees need to go steal their
refrigerators, repeatedly saying "This is egregious!"

The employees immediately see through the ruse and go back inside. Michael can't believe they didn't buy it and starts telling them that they are playing right into the
perpetrators' hands, as if the supposed perpetrators left the air in Michael's tires to throw them off. In the end, Bob Vance offers to come over and fill up everyone's tires
with his air compressor.

Maybe I'm reading too much into this (my girlfriend certainly thinks so), but I think the writers of the show were trying to send a subtle message. The parts that
really got me, though, were the note that talks about everyone "coming together as one" to avenge the attack, and Michael's odd comment about getting together
and stealing their refrigerators in retaliation, as if that would help anything.

What do you guys think? Were the writers trying to send a subtle message about false flag terrorism?
