Hi Guys,
Recently the following remarks by David Bolinsky, author of the wonderful "Inner life of the cell" video, were quoted by PZ on the pharingula website. These are in reference to the "Expelled" movie's appropriation of his work to advance the intelligent design agenda:
Well poor Dr. Bolinsky may have been pissed off, but what what a great name he came up with for a new game: "Whack-a-ID!"
Folks, what you've all been waiting for, a fantasy-land in which an IDer can be convinced into reason by the simple means of a whack on the head with a gavel! Not the most reasoned approach but certainly accommodating to our more atavistic instincts.
See the attached zip; I'm afraid I had to zip as the forum's size limit for flash media is set rather low.
Enjoy!

To Mr. Dembski: The only reason I am involved in this discussion is because I do not want the reputation of my company, hard-earned as it is, to be sullied by even oblique affiliation to your sort of smarmy ethics, if only through works of ours, purloined to fit your agenda...
...XVIVO has no intention of engaging alone, in asymmetrical fighting against an ideological entity with orders of magnitude more resources than we have. That might make great theater, but would resemble a hugely expensive game of whack-a-ID. Boring!
