For those who, like me, had no desire to put one dime in the coffers of the blithering idiots who made the movie Expelled, and who want a truly stomach turning experience, it's now on cable.

Expelled now for sale
Well, apparently there were a lot of people like me who didn't want to put one dime in the coffers of blithering idiots, because a bankruptcy court has apparently ordered that the movie Expelled be sold to pay the debts of the production company that made it.
There's only one appropriate reaction.

It has always struck me as odd that fundies devote so much time and effort into trying to find a naturalistic explanation for their mythical flood, while looking for magical explanations for things that actually happened. -- Dr. Adequate

Re: Expelled now for sale
Maybe someone will buy it so that that they can prevent it from ever being shown again.

Too late its on YouTube in a multi-part series, I had a hard time getting through the 9 min trailer, the 1st part was too painful to finish in my current state of mind, Ben Stein was right when he said.
Ben Stein acknowledges it's best watched while high.
If he didn't say that, he should have.

Prophetic!
The folks at Panda's Thumb are doing a whip round, and will compete at the auction. People are interested in seeing what was cut from the final edition, amongst other things.
See Panda's Thumb for more
This could be a very amusing twist in the "Expelled" tale.

Bidding for "Expelled".
The bidding for "Expelled" finishes 10:00A.M. (CTD) today (28th).
I wonder who's who?
