I just think the part at 3 minutes with Hitchens is hilarious. It is so insulting to his supposed “intellectual greatness.”

[...] thread is addressed to the animators of The Machine Video (with Dawkins doing his Eminem routine) as well as any other talented flash/video animators. Perhaps [...]

One side is used to believe in its own just so stories and discourages any critical thinking. The other side challenges people to be open minded and follow the evidence where it leads. Which one would be more suscetible to clever manipulation? That would be a nice subject for a paper.

Did Richard Dawkins’ crotch thrusting at the end make anyone else physically ill?

JvC, I’m reminded of a quote from Mathis: “That’s one of the stunning things I learned on this project – these people have never entertained the possibility that they might be wrong.”

I believe that using and exposing that arrogance might just be the centerpiece of his PR strategy. Arrogance works well for the arrogant…but it doesn’t play well with the general public.

Like the whole Mathis/Myers incident, their penchant for underestimating IDists is doing them in.
Not really underestimating, just plain arrogance from the evangelical atheists. I find it sickening to watch.

Hundreds of comments on Pharyngula and they’re split on whether this is a dig at creationists or evolutionists.

What I’m really getting a kick out of is the Darwinbots who reason that “this must have been produced by our side. The IDists are too stoopid to even get it.”

Like the whole Mathis/Myers incident, their penchant for underestimating IDists is doing them in. I love it!

It is pretty darn funny that evolutionists, with their almost obsessive focus on tedious research and boring journals, would see their house of cards collapsed by cultural confrontation like this video.

DaveScot:

Does anyone here have any doubt it’s a brilliant hip-hop mockery of scientists who think they’re smarter than everyone else

Honest, I bet bones it was produced by the production staff promoting Expelled. Yes, Dave, anyone with their head screwed on straight can see the message “Who is Dawkins to say that he knows more than you and I.” I loved the Expelled logo stuck right in the middle, but a subtle enough sell to get past the filters of Panda’s Thumb and Phyrangula. It is tooo tight!
