hahaha - Blogger Expelled From Creationist Movie "Expelled" Someone ELSE Gets In....
Edited on Sun Mar-23-08 07:02 PM by BlooInBloo

There is a rich, deep kind of irony that must be shared. I'm blogging this from the Apple store in the Mall of America, because I'm too amused to want to wait until I get back to my hotel room.

I went to attend a screening of the creationist propaganda movie, Expelled, a few minutes ago. Well, I tried … but I was Expelled! It was kind of weird — I was standing in line, hadn't even gotten to the point where I had to sign in and show ID, and a policeman pulled me out of line and told me I could not go in. I asked why, of course, and he said that a producer of the film had specifically instructed him that I was not to be allowed to attend. The officer also told me that if I tried to go in, I would be arrested. I assured him that I wasn't going to cause any trouble.


I'll not give away the punchline. Gawd religious people slay me.


EDIT: Clarified title.

2. That is HYSTERICAL! And it's exactly what those idiot Creationists deserve.
The blogger is expelled, and DAWKINS walks in! That is so rich.

4. They probably pointed Dawkins out, but the Rent a Cop thought he meant
the other guy. The manager probably didn't know which one was Dawkins either. The person that had him thrown out probably didn't want to be seen by Dawkins so he wasn't there to correct their mistake.

7. Yes, it IS possible to theorize any number of purely logically consistent explanations.

Satan clouded Mathis's mind to the presence of Dawkins.

They specifically asked him if his name was PZ Meyers and then proceeded to throw him out. The makers of that "film" have a massive grudge against Meyers... so much so that they missed Dawkins and Meyers' family, right under their noses.

11. Oh crap!! That's funny as hell!
Check out what this poster said:

"Witnesses say that when Prof. Dawkins was called on to ask a question and stood up, the blood drained out of the producer's face."

:rofl:

21. You two are very welcome :)
I remember you, BlooInBloo, from when I was a more regular poster here a couple of years ago. We were in a few drug war and racial impact/justice threads together, an interest we seemed to share at the time. Hope you've been well and are still working the issue.

22. One of the comments in there is going to become my sig line.

Debating creationists on the topic of evolution is rather like trying to play chess with a pigeon — it knocks the pieces over, craps on the board, and flies back to its flock to claim victory.
