:D I like his style. Probally he has already convinced a few, who will, if hearing him tell it is a joke, say:
You've been caught by the government and brainwashed and:
No matter what they did to you we will always believe and continue your work. The truth is out there.. somewhere..

It's brilliant! I'm absolutely convinced that it's satirical, intended to poke fun at the creationists (note the part about the $100,000 reward, obviously taken from "Dr. Dino"). Assuming that this is true, it's done beautifully.

...or to slag off at the crazy people who think there was no moon landing. Or whatever. It doesn't always have to be about creationists.

Does it?

Oh yeah. I've seen that site. He is either an idiot or is just a guy that is ranting on his page for attention which I believe he is doing.

From: Belial <Belial@ten.net>
To: madrev@reptiles.org
i have a cousin who claimed to have touched the moon with an unusually long
piece of lumber taken from the shed. if my cousin (who could be a paid
actor by the government) would lie about such a thing, i would lose
complete faith in everything i hold dear.

He isn't joking. I've heard people withhis view of the moon call up Art Bell's Radio show :roll: . It's stupid, thoughtless, pointless, and they often combine their view with other views I.e. hollow earth, creationism, hollow earth, shadow people, hollow earth, etc.

Really makes you wonder about people sometime.


::edit::

He seems smart enough to be making fun at theese reviosinists. But still it makes me sad.

Oh, yes, while recently bringing up the subject Buzz Aldrin recently punched someone who said there is no moon or any Moon landing. :D

*falls over laughing*

He even has a page proving that Winnipeg doesn't exist! Which is silly, Winnipeg is where the people who protect the great conspiracy of Switzerland live...

Edit: He also claims the Jews don't exist, which will make my third cousin very upset. He has always thought he existed.

He has voyager on his site, that explains the stupidity.

I mean anyone who has a picture of voyager on their site must be infected by its stupidity. Ala the infection by the midi-chlorians in "Portal." That explains it.

As I recall the guy tried to convince Buzz to swear over the bible that he had walked on the moon. It was at this point that he gave the guy a knuckle and liver sandwich.

It's definitely satire. Look at his correspondence with a real Holocaust-denier. :)

The disclaimer is also a hint to its satirical nature:

The site itself is certainly satire (far too self-consistent, for one thing), but some of the posted feedback is a little on the scary side.

If there's no moon, then what did I squat and pissed over the other night after a round in a pub?
