Public Ridicule

One of the best things about moving to Austin in the past year is the active and thriving non-religious community here. Case in point - The Atheist Experience. It airs on Public Access down here. Something like this would never air back in North Carolina where I moved from (Wilkesboro - Land of 1000 Baptist Churches).

Recently The Atheist Experience was pranked by a girl named Microbiologychick who runs her own blog called Atheist Girls. She doesn’t live too awfully far from where I moved from - just over the border in Tennessee. Microbiologychick gets a big thumbs-up from PR for being so incredibly dead-on in playing her character of the typical religious buffoon who knows nothing of what they are talking about when it comes to science. The hosts of The Atheist Experience were good sports and have also congratulated her on her ability to the play the role. She did so well, she fooled the show hosts, other bloggers, and even my favorite radio show, The Opie and Anthony Show on XM Satellite Radio. Below is a link to the audio so you can hear her fantastic performance and commentary from Opie, Anthony, and Jimmy Norton.

NOTE: I cut-out a 20 minutes tangent discussion about Rocky Dennis, the deformed kid depicted in the Cher movie, “Mask”. It was so uproariously funny that they never really get fully back on the track of Microbiologychick’s call, but kept making allusions to it while wrapping up the discussion.

Good job, Microbiologychick. Public Ridicule salutes you.

Yes, North Carolina’s own JFK-wannabe had an extra marital affair. Normally I don’t care about shit like this. However, when I lived in NC, I heard this ass talk about morality all the time. Nice job, Johnny. You picked an ingenious method of proving Ann Coulter wrong.
