I nearly got myself in trouble at work laughing my ass off. I was spelunking the comment thread on Carpetbagger’s “Conservative Ben Stein insists, ‘Science leads you to killing people’” post, enjoying the number of politically active people who are also wise to Intelligent Design’s antics. Right in the middle of it, I encounter this: …

Expelled: Extreme Failure Edition
Yes, it’s been a while since I did an Expelled post. Got bored, didn’t I? They weren’t doing anything new and exciting, aside from failing spectacularly. But now, there’s some fresh opportunity for fun at their expense. Premise Media, the assclowns behind Expelled: the Flop, sent PZ Myers and other poor unfortunates on their mailing …

Expelled Expectorated!
It’s been a busy day not seeing Expelled. I’ve spent the majority of it reading the flood of terrible reviews, the deluge of ridicule, and reflecting on the meaning of this meaningless film. I’ve also thought about what’s likely to happen next. I’ve a few predictions: Morbid fascination will keep the film in theaters longer …

Expelled: a Boon to Humanity
Nonono, my darlings, there’s no need to worry: I haven’t seen the film and been converted. That’s about as likely as me developing a deep and abiding love for my uterus. Considering I’d be first in line for a home hysterectomy kit, you can suss out the odds. They’re roughly the same as a meteor …

Expelled Exposes Itself
Ah, yes, my darlings. Today’s the day we’ve all been waiting for: Waterloo. Expelled hits theaters today like a tsunami of bullshit. Evolutionists are supposed to hide under the bed. Evolutionary biology will end. Etc. Uh-huh. We’re all shaking and stuff. There was a calm before the storm: aside from a flurry of negative reviews, …

Expelled for Plagarism!
Expelled and the Bush Administration have something very much in common: they’re evil, lying fuckwits who like to pretend they haven’t broken the law. And they can’t stop. They can’t stop lying, cheating, stealing, or whining. Premise Media, the incredible gang of assclowns behind Expelled, is going to need more lawyers soon. I think Alberto …

Countdown to Humiliation
You know things are bad when Expelled gets pilloried in Salt Lake City, Utah: Every semi-knowledgeable moviegoer and reader of movie criticism knows what the words “not screened for critics” means: The movie is adog. “Not screened for critics” means a movie is so terrible that the studio will take its chances, deprive itself of …
