Bad Astronomer calls out Stephen Colbert over Apollo!

[Tricky]

There's a Skepdude's calendar?

Yes indeedy!

So you're saying Phil is well-endo... Ah HAH! Now I know why they never asked me to pose!!! Oh darn that was my "little" secret...

Phil's avatar over at the Skepchicks forum is a cropped version of his picture.

Wait...you pay attention to YouTube posters?

One should take the You Tube Posters as seriously as you take the Talkbackers on Ain't It Cool News.

I love the comments from the people who don't get BA's joke. How can they not get it?

Those are the same people who think Colbert's character is real.

Um..... You know, I didn't actually read them... I was too busy giggling over Phil's Hulk Hogan impersonation.

If only he'd torn off his shirt at the end.

Nah, that can't be it, I was on the cover for ed sake. But still, it was rather shocking to see Phil put his 12" on public display like that...

if i didnt know phil was smart enough to know colbert is satire i wouldnt be entirely sure his response was satire either, his response does seem serious a wacky, perry logan sort of way

Maybe my sense of humor meter is broken, but I could tell that Colbert was joking, hell, his entire persona is satire.

And I'm a fan of BadAstronomy.com over Colbert

Er, yeah. That was the point, wasn't it?
