Who are we? We find that we live on an insignificant planet of a humdrum star lost in a galaxy tucked away in some forgotten corner of a universe in which there are far more galaxies than people -Carl Sagan
For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring. -Carl Sagan
Yea, i know. In my haste (as I added by edit at the beginning of my post), I forgot about it being fictional. I had read about it some time back. I read more AFTER I posted this. I wanted to leave my idiocy here for all to see, otherwise I would have deleted the content.

"I don't know what's happening to me," Faber admitted to reporters Monday. "It's like I get these weird urges sometimes, and suddenly I'm tempted to go behind my friends' backs and attend a megachurch service, or censor books in the school library in some way. Even just the thought of organizing a CD-burning turns me on."
"The other week, I was this close to picketing in front of an abortion clinic," the mortified teenager said, his eyes welling up with tears. "I know it's wrong, but I wanted so badly to do it anyway. I even made one of those signs with photos of dead fetuses and hid it in my closet. I felt so ashamed, yet, at the same time, it was all strangely titillating."

"These two people made in his image do not know how to communicate, lack skills in both mathematics and farming, and have the intellectual capacity of an infant," one Sumerian philosopher wrote. "They must be the creation of a complete idiot."

I can't watch the video (at work, sorry!), but your mention of "boring science" reminds me of watching Mr Wizard in science class. That most definitely could not be constituted as boring. That guy made learning about nerdy science-y shit fun as hell!
In doing so, i found out you can actually buy the entire series on DVD! here

By eerie coincidence, Ball recently featured in one of the Nine Carols shows. He brought up the subject of climate change scepticism and was booed off the stage!

wow. Just....wow. Surely it has to be satire..???? Are people really THAT loony? Is Buz the site admin?
"Some people think God is an outsized, light-skinned male with a long white beard, sitting on a throne somewhere up there in the sky, busily tallying the fall of every sparrow. Othersfor example Baruch Spinoza and Albert Einsteinconsidered God to be essentially the sum total of the physical laws which describe the universe. I do not know of any compelling evidence for anthropomorphic patriarchs controlling human destiny from some hidden celestial vantage point, but it would be madness to deny the existence of physical laws."
Not quite. However, jesus-is-savior seems to be just a bunch of links. Anything you click goes to a wholly different site: new tabs and all. It still is alot of work, if in the name of satire.

I'd like to see this site and where they got their material since they are seemingly alluding to Conan O'Brien, Jay Leno and David Letterman. I hardly see any of the 3 of them telling "jokes" as tasteless as these.

I claim no particular political affiliation, thank you very much. Buzzwords are annoying. They show lack of character and/or in depth knowledge of a given subject.

You are rather quick to judge, aren't you? Not only quick, you are extremely judgmental.
