What is wrong with society when this nonsense is some of the most watched?

"Okay, how did the moon get there? How'd the moon get there? Look, you pinheads who attacked me for this, you guys are just desperate. How'd the moon get there?"

I guess the scientists speaking in this video are "pinheads" and desperate -

NOT some of the "most watched". O'Reilly pulls over a million a day, but last time I checked, there were a lot more Americans who don't watch him, or Fox, at all.

But I agree, those who DO watch are a "strange society".

Thanks for correcting me on that. My family raves about him and how Fox News is the most viewed, only one to be trusted and all that crap.

I hope these more recent statements about tides and the moon cause his viewing audience to question him more.

This vid makes me laugh, but the comments make me laugh even harder.


It's so sad that my parents think he's the shizz, but then they believe in the prophet too, so I can't expect too much.

We need a 'Recovery from Bill O'Reilly's Prognostications' Board: R-BOP, if you will.

Because every time this fool opens his mouth, the intelligent people of this world cringe.

I wish I had Bill's phone number.

"People have known this one for thousands of years, Bill. As everyone knows, the earth sits on the back of a giant turtle. What is less known is that the moon used to sit on top of the earth, and it fell off when the turtle sneezed."

Obviously.

I'm glad that's cleared up.

Anthropic Principle

Sounded to me like a dumbed down re-stating of an Anthropic view of the universe, what Douglas Adams called "Puddle Thinking",

Don't underestimate O'Reilly. You don't pull down a graduate degree from Harvard (more specifically the JFK School of Government) with a room temperature IQ.
