Although I did find myself a little curious about Dave Bowman :) On a review, it is more obvious. Maybe it's because I had watched the first two films right before Dark Side Of The Moon. If I had watched this first, I suspect I would have picked up on that, but they were such badly-made nonsense that think my brain had retreated in on itself. Plus I didn't have any context for this film, I simply found it. That's embarrasing :) Kind of ironic though, that he can create a film that parodies its peers, but then because of the way the internet works it is soon amongst its peers and considered the same. Oh dear. I too share your despair that 99% of viewers will not know it is a spoof. What have we learned today? Don't watch lots of conspiracy films in one go. And don't believe what people write in descriptions on video sharing websites. And finally, that it is probably very, very hard to spoof conspiracy theory films subtly without becoming one. I guess that's kinda sad. @ Iron Sun – I have to shamefully admit that on the first viewing I never picked that up. Although I did find myself a little curious about Dave Bowman :)

The producers wanted to show how easy it is to create a false impression just with a bit of creative editing. If you really pay attention to what is being said you'll notice that it gets sillier and sillier as the movie progresses - KGB agents with strong British accents, ridiculous names, and so on. Some of the supposedly real interviewees have names taken from Kubrick movies, such as Dave Bowman from 2001 or Jack Torrance from The Shining. Unfortunately some people can't see the joke, even after multiple viewings. Dark Side Of The Moon is a joke, it’s not meant to be taken seriously.
