I love shows like this. I've been watching every episode. Some of the cutesy-ness of the show makes it hard for me to take it seriously, but it's still awesome. Though I've been watching them all on-demand. It seems to be a real struggle for me to actually catch it on its set date. Tongue

When I look at gifs on my phone sometimes they play very slowly. The result being what looked like NDT getting teabagged while he smiled.

Interesting commentary.

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2014/04/02...asse-Tyson

Quote:There is a class of white conservative reactionaries and bigots that have had the exact opposite reaction.

To them, a black man who is President of the United States is unacceptable. To them, the future of the American republic is somehow imperiled by the fact that an African-American presides over the White House.

A black man who is a starred scientist, lecturing them on TV about the fallacies and lies that govern their worldview may just be too much to accept. Why? For the Christian Right, God is white. Everyone of importance in the Bible is also white. And of course, Jesus is a white guy who looks like a surfer.

A black man named Neil deGrasse Tyson, telling them that their Christian Fundamentalist, mythological distorted versions of reality are examples of fantastical thinking, and thus outside of the realm of empirical reality, is unacceptable. What could possibly be more "uppity" than that?

I don't know how true this is. Were Sagan, Dawkins or Hitchens doing the show the fundies would be just as batshit crazy. In the deep south it probably helps but it seems akin to a cop putting the sixth bullet into someone he has just shot five times.

Saw the one about lead.

Gods I hated the asswipe hired by the industry who perfectly lied to the credulous public about lead being safe.

All industries have learned that trick...from fracking to GMO. You cannot believe anything said by anyone who is making a buck off of it.

And people wonder why I snort when the fucking oil companies claim global warming is a hoax!
