Default Jay's review of Bart's show on amazon.com

I was looking of the review's on Bart Sibrel's movie "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Moon" on amazon.com and noticed that Jay has finally added a review of his own. See it here.

The review directly under Jay's is a hoot. It is by one M. Beckerman, who might be a Sibrel sockpuppet, given that they're on the same intellectual level ("Keep and open mind").

Even if you see this film and don't believe a single thing in it, ask yourself this one simple question. With all the powerful telescopes that we have come up with to date, both Earth and space based, how come no one has ever taken a single photo of the landing site on the moon? We can count the dimples on a golfball from 30 miles up in space with our spy satallite [sic] cameras today but we can't take a single photo of the moon landing site to see if what we supposedly left up there is still there and in the location that it is supposed to be? The Hubble telescope can look back into space millions of years and see light from the time of the big bang but none of our satalliets [sic] can take a close up shot of the surface of the moon where we supposedly landed and left all kinds of equipment behind? I don't think so.
Of course as any reader of this board knows, photos have been taken, from Moon orbit. Too bad Rutan & Co. didn't know about space being only 30 miles up. Would have saved them a lot of engineering work. I guess this guy figures no one with any knowledge of astronomy and principles of telescopic resolution will ask themselves that "simple question". :roll:

BTW, once my vote is registered, that count will be 3 out of 18. Heck, I might post a review of this "review"!

Yep. I'm keeping my mind AND it's open. There, I've met all the criteria. Do I get a medal or something?!

(Now then, who do I see about my NASA "keep quiet" paycheque?)

No, you don't get a medal. Instead you win a year's supply of this particular canned item:



Pay particular attention to the microwave instructions.

Enjoy!

Mak, do you have a gallery of these somewhere? I also liked your take a while back on the British version of 'Bad Astronomy'. Wasn't it called 'Absolutely frightful astronomy' or something like that?

Mind, round my area, the version would be more like "rigg-welted astronomy. Settin' clahrt-ead's reight."

Probably a few of them do have brains, but they would be unused! Nice fresh brains unsullied by actual logical thought!

Alternatively, as you state, it could be that NONE of them have any brains, and therefore the contents of these tins are fake!

So what we have here are fake brains of people who think most things are fake anyway (and life is in fact a complete conspiracy) therefore they would have no problem eating them themselves and thus dissappear up their own .......... cranium!
