Unless you live in some kind of cave you must have seen the ads for Expelled, Ben Stein's pro intelligent design movie.

Well, never mind if it's right or not, what's important here is what the website Expelled Exposed (http://www.expelledexposed.com/) says that brings the funny.

In one part of the movie they talk about Michael Egnor who wrote an essay on an intelligent design blog saying doctors didn't need to study evolution in order to practice medicine. Egnor talked about how shocking the viciousness of the response was.

The expelled Exposed website committed on this in the following manner:

I hadn't, but that's because I live in a country where everyone pretty much points and laughs at intelligent design people.

I might want to check the movie out, sounds like it could bring the funney. Of the point-and-laugh variety, of course.

Look here (http://www.richarddawkins.net/article,2394,Lying-for-Jesus,Richard-Dawkins) for an interesting deconstruction of the film and of the underlying dishonesty of the filmmakers. Strangely enough, it's actually go me wanting to go to the matinee (reduced price) showing of this film, because I can't wait to see the Lord Privy Seals in action. I am a film masochist that way.

I used to have some small amount of respect for Ben Stein. He sure ruined that.

It's good that he's reviving his career in comedies.
