Inside The Skeptical Science Secret Tree House Bunker*

*with apologies to Josh

Normally I don’t go with a Godwins Law parody but…

  1. The Skeptical Science Kidz made it a front page issue
  2. It’s darn funny!

h/t to “Foxgoose” who made the parody.

But the online Guardian is read by a lot more…
Let us hope that SkS are dumped by the Guardian.
Like it or not, the Guardian is taken more seriously than the Daily Mai – even if (especially as) the Daily Mail has better totty photos.

I’m in the unwanted position of being sympathetic to much of what Skeptical Science had to say about that article as are several of your commenters.

Christoph,
Did SkS have something to say? I didn’t see anything on their site today about it. Where?
Thanks,

Just incredibly brilliant. Big Hat tip.
Facebook peeps (especially you young whippersnappers who call me Mama Day)–please watch this. I can’t say enough good things about the creatives who composed it. #climatechange

Another brilliant take on ‘that’ scene. I don’t Twatter or You-Tube or whatever, but even I have seen about a dozen takes – each with subtitles. [The Hitler flies Ryanair one is a side-splitter, too!].
this is one of the best – IHMO. [See I can do it a bit]

Addendum: I thought my original comment would automatically show on my timeline. It didn’t so I’ll just link it directly. But the comment was obviously directed to my FB friends. Thought I shd. clarify.

By whom? I don’t know of anyone who thinks of The Guardian as anything but a “progressive” propaganda spin sheet. It’s like the print version of MSNBC.

@Christoph Dollis
You are going too far. It’s silly.

Foxgoose,
You know, I do not think it is a given that Cook and his denizens at his Skeptical[-less] Science site will consider your video parody. They, based on the weird images originally in their in their site’s subdirectory ‘user_uploaded’, bizarrely may proudly consider your video as their general biography.
I hope to get John Cook’s autograph on a DVD of your video. {a whole lot of chuckling going on }
John

Epic line right here
“I had an idea for a website that was completely devoid of scepticism or science but brilliantly named “skeptical science.”

ah but the Grauniad is seen as a ‘serious paper’ by those who do read it (because they agree with its eco- and social spin), whereas they look down on the Mail as gossip and fluff.

Where is this “funny” tree house bunker located?
Penn State University, Pennhurst Annex ?
(ie., in some mann’s office …)

I have no problem whatsoever with the SkS kidz getting a slap upside the head. About bloody time! The whole alarmist crowd is out to undermine science and civilization, and not by accident. Nor for free. There’s some serious money over there.
They get no sympathy from me and never will. Not one of them.
This little video gave me a good laugh. Thanks for posting it, Anthony. 🙂

How would you know, troll? Your comment is number two so you are making claims based on ONE data point, which you had to invert. On top of that I have never seen your handle in the many years I have been visiting here. You’re just blowing smoke.

Oh, just realized that the address I mentioned above, is suitable for counting the tree rings …
What could go wrong …?

Dellingpole is going to have trouble topping that. At least he has a photo prop.

Christoph Dollis,
If it is a consolation to you, you can be cheered up by the observation that . . . they also serve well the WUWT skeptical dialogs who chronicle minority views on a comment thread.
I’ve been in that position a few times and it was a good experience.

This is so funny, I wonder how long it will be until Youtube/Google take it down.

August 7, 2013 2:36 pm

True, John!

I love the “Hitler rants” videos. This one didn’t disappoint.

Speaking of Google, can Smiley John Cook as Reichsfuehrer be posted on Google Images?
