creation museum




okay, you gotta see this. The article is from the Beast, aka Buffalo Beast. This guy went on a road trip to the creation museum in northern kentucky, under the guise of Dougie, a special guy who writes for an equally special newspaper, The Special Times. And Dougie, aka Ian Murphy, played the whole thing in character, as a drooling, special needs reporter who loves dinosaurs and jesus equally.

after obtaining press credentials for their fictional paper, the reporter and his team descended on the unsuspecting creationists:

"The event we were covering was a quick shot across the Kentucky state line, the grand unveiling of a 60,000 square foot bellwether of our culture’s sheepish intellectually depravity: The Creation Museum. The poured concrete brainchild of Ken Ham, world-renowned creationist douche and president of the Christian apologetics ministry “Answers in Genesis,” this “museum” aims to depict biblical narrative as historic reality. 27 million donated dollars worth of animatronic dinosaurs and humans palling around in the Garden of Eden—madness."

Dougie even got to interview head creationist loon Ken Ham:

'The interview was going well. Ham was spouting nonsensical creationist rhetoric, and I was in full-blown retard mode. We were like long lost twins. He continued averting his gaze, however. My assumed detriments reminded him of man’s fall from grace. It was time to test this man of God.

“What about car-bon dating?” I asked.

Ham shot Bunting an icy stare, as if accusing him of corrupting my impressionable mind with science—or was it worse? Did he know? Was a half-wit’s mention of a scientific dating method too unbelievable, even for someone willing to swallow Genesis in its entirety? Bunting spun around to compose himself and suppress an impending fit of laughter. The cameraman disappeared.'

read it and laugh. lots.
