			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So, no doubt y&#8217;all have already heard about the <em>Expelled</em> kerfluffle, wherein PZ Myers was EXPELLED! from a screening of the creationist claptrap propaganda of the same name.  A movie to which he graciously contributed an interview, before he realized it was a piece of creationist claptrap propaganda.  </p>
<p>(What&#8217;s that?  Oh, you haven&#8217;t heard? Well, go read PZ&#8217;s accounts, <a href="http://scienceblogs.com/pharyngula/2008/03/expelled.php">here</a> and <a href="http://scienceblogs.com/pharyngula/2008/03/a_late_night_quick_one.php">here</a>.  I won&#8217;t spoil the punchline.)</p>
<p>But it gets better.  Filmmakers Ben Stein, Mark Malkis, et al. invited Rebecca Watson of Skepchick to participate in a teleconference on the movie, and she aided and abetted our curmudgeonly atheist troublemaker in crashing the conference call. Hilarity ensued.</p>
<p>Audio and transcript <a href="http://skepchick.org/blog/?p=1190">here</a>.  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What else would you call this &#8220;performance&#8221; by &#8220;paranormalist&#8221; Jim Callahan on the Halloween episode of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phenomenon_%28TV_series%29"><em>Phenomenon</em></a>?</p>
<p><center><object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/pE45QHIUfiM"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/pE45QHIUfiM" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object></center></p>
<p>As if Callahan&#8217;s masturbatastic act isn&#8217;t obscene enough, Uri Geller jumps in with a reacharound.  And somehow Criss Angel is the one who&#8217;s censored for dropping an apparent &#8220;bullshit&#8221; on the two, ahem, bullshitters?  Puhlease.</p>
<p>I especially love how Geller criticized a later act (<a href="http://www.mikesuper.com/">Mike Super</a>, who is, in fact, totally super) for being &#8220;overly dramatic&#8221;&#8230;even though you can&#8217;t find more over-the-top, D-grade &#8220;acting&#8221; than Callahan&#8217;s on the daytime soaps.  </p>
