		<description>What a disgrace of a movie. People were tricked into being in it, and yet the movemakers claim to follow morals. Shame on them for lying to interviewees and in the movie. ID is anti-education because it teaches people to ignore evidence, so it should be removed from education.</description>

		<description>Given thirty minutes of interview footage, I can guar-&lt;i&gt;ran&lt;/i&gt;-tee that any but the very most Vulcan-like of humans can be &lt;i&gt;made to look&lt;/i&gt; like an absolute idiot.

You&#039;ll notice that Ben Stein only slipped up once by letting someone else control a pre-release interview, the one with &quot;Scientific American&quot;. Guess who sounded like an absolute idiot then? And they didn&#039;t even have to do a cut-up edit job for it, like &quot;Expelled&quot; did for Dawkins.

I don&#039;t think Michael Moore is sweating the competition. &quot;Expelled&quot; pulled in an impressive $227 per theater on Monday... for certain values of &quot;impressive&quot;. I&#039;m impressed that out of approximately 135 million people in the USA who are likely the sort who answer the Gallup poll question with &quot;God created man in his current form within the past 10,000 years&quot;, fewer than half a million of them bothered to go to the theater to watch &quot;Expelled&quot;. Even the supposedly captive audience you&#039;d expect to march right out at their pastor&#039;s bidding don&#039;t seem to be buying it. That&#039;s less than half of one percent of the market base. You can generally do better than that &lt;i&gt;cold-calling&lt;/i&gt; people, which is why telemarketers telemarket. Even the dreaded &quot;mandatory school field trip&quot; suggestion from the promoters &lt;a href=&quot;http://austringer.net/wp/index.php/2008/04/22/flunked-not-expelled-watch-for-the-mandatory-field-trip-bump/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;failed to materialize&lt;/a&gt; in any appreciable alteration in ticket sales from what would be expected.

Got any, you know, &lt;i&gt;evidence&lt;/i&gt; that this stunning achievement to which you refer exists anywhere outside IDC cheerleading craniums around the country?</description>

		<description>Science purposely excludes alternative theories to the Sex establishment.

Sex theory has so many holes in it that it&#039;s time for scientists to wake up to Avian Transportation Theory.

		<description>Chris Wing,

I heard you sing (respond to my bog). The story of Cat Stevens was sometime ago, normally you tube will pull those types of threating videos off their server when discovered or they will also pull it for other reasons such as copyright. 

In case you overlooked my statement about the video, I said...&quot;in reality there was a video where Cat Stevens...&quot; Notice I used the word &quot;was&quot; in reference to the video on you tube. I alluding to past tense not present tense. For further research, try using Google or Yahoo. I believe Wikipedia has it as Bath Tub who did his homework while washing up on the subject (did research or already known) lists the link where you can do your follow up.</description>

Yusuf Islam formerly Cat Stevens gets the videos of himself discussing Salam Rushdie taken down from YouTube under false copyright claims. His opinion is well known and documented http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat_Stevens%27_comments_about_Salman_Rushdie</description>

&lt;blockquote&gt;An anti-Expelled review from Fox???

Damn, there goes one of my favourite conspiracy theories.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Your conspiracy theory isn&#039;t convoluted enough then.  What if Fox was behind both the movie and the bad review?</description>

		<description>I&#039;m envisioning PZ Myers filming new Clear Eyes commercials. It&#039;s perfect, replace the monotonous drolling drone with the mild-mannered squid professor.</description>
