"...create a story to reconcile the video with their vision of the world."

I find this happens a lot online, I notice it especially on reddit. People like to fill in the blanks no matter what the video or picture depicts. I even hear it in the daily morning show I listen to on the radio - the hosts will read a story about someone and make up some continuing story based on their own assumptions.

I think it's an incredible confirmation that we as people continue to feel the need to relate to each other with stories, in any medium.
