What a shocker Gary Ablett Snrs ‘news’ piece in the Herald Sun is.

Chock full of idiocy and incorrect information, the same old creationist canards, specifically ones such as the peanut butter argument which are a standing joke on the internet up there with the banana claims. I won’t go into an in depth breakdown as it is just too painful. So much of the information regarding the stupidity of his claims can be found via a simple google search.

Interestingly however, it appears it is listed under opinion:

http://www.heraldsun.com.au/opinion/

Note however that the other opinion articles start with the above url, except for that one, which has /news/

I think it has been moved after being initially posted, and I also notice that ‘opinion’ articles allow discussion, news articles do not.

Interesting, one could be led to believe it has been created as a news article specifically to avoid discussion.

UPDATE: It looks like discussions have been enabled on the article, oh the stupid, it burns!

I was throwing together video and have had this lying around for a while now, finally posted it up to youtube. Not really happy with it, some of the folk in it are not really identifiable such as Pat Robertson in 1985 speaking to soldiers from the documentaty film Holy Terror by Frank Morrow available free on archive.org (a must see), as well as kids with guns, specifically members of the Lords Resistance Army. It’s also really disjointed, but try finding footage that is free to use that is specifically Australian. I tried keeping away from panning on static images or just stuff most people have already seen on the web.

Anyway, here it is, your free to use it how you wish, the only attribution on a creative commons licence is the Holy Terror/Frank Morrow reference. If you spot another please tell me, I am pretty sure everything else is public domain but it’s good to cross your t’s and dot your i’s.
