Expelled

Do you remember when Ben Stein wasn't bat shit crazy? He has a new documentary coming out about intelligent design. Actually, it's about how intelligent design theorists are persecuted. The trailer and the official site for Expelled. (The "Bad to the Bone" riff is totally killah, dude.) Oh look, little splashy has a blog too.

Yeah, Bad to the Bone was well used....back in motherfucking 1991 when it was in Terminator 2. Lame.

I particularly like the "Big Science" Bogeyman. They're persecuting creationists, and next they'll come for your stem cells!<br /><br /> <br /><br /> Oh, and re: the riff... <br /><br /> <br /><br /> http://www.theonion.com/content/node/32462<br /><br /> <br /><br />

"Expelled?" No. Flunked out.

To make it better, the producers are trying to boost their attendance numbers by offering to pay bribes to schools who make their students take a mandatory 'field trip' to a theatre to see the movie. A new riff on 'Win Ben Stein's Money'.<br /><br /> <br /><br /> 'Expelled': so bad they have to pay people to watch it!

"Ah ha' bee' tol' to shu'up."<br /><br /> <br /><br /> Maybe because no one understands a word you're saying?<br /><br /> <br /><br /> And why isn't it called Darwinism-Mendelism, BTW? Anyone? Anyone?
