I love you, Conservapedia

[andygates]

If it wasn't for flaky, shoddy, close-minded and frankly shocking Conservapedia, I would never have clicked around a bit and found the parody page about the Pacific Northwest Arboreal Octopus.  And without that - and this campaign page - I would never have found Octopustruth.com.

I wouldn't know about the dangers of the urban octopus, or have the facts in their handy octopus vs. dolphin comparison chart handy.  Thank you, internet!

Now *I* am amused. Thank you. :)

Glad you're finding the "enlightening" existence of Conservapedia entertaining!

Best laugh I've had all year.

I know picking fun at dumb people is bad and lowbrow, but hey, that's me.

Did you spot this?

People for the Ethical Treatment of Pumpkins

We must change our pumpkin perceptions in order to change our pumpkin behaviors. The youngster in the photo wasn't born with a desire to wear a pumpkin. Most assuredly an adult gutted the pumpkin and placed the child inside. This young person will probably grow up to be a pumpkin abuser too. Look closely at the picture, is the pumpkin smiling?

Genius.

And, of course, it all traces back to Lyle of foil deflector beanie fame. I thought the style was familiar.
