The Year in Ideas
Some Anonymous Dude writes "The NYTimes magazine reviews this year's great ideas including the anti-paparazzi flash, forehead billboards, scientific free-throw distraction, and why popcorn doesn't pop." From the intro: "Once we have thrown back all the innovations that don't meet our exacting standards, we find ourselves with the following alphabetical catch: 78 notions, big and small, grand and petty, serious and silly, ingenious and. . . well, whatever you call it when you tattoo an advertisement on your forehead for money."
That's an idea that has been around for ages. It's just that its proponents are far more organized now than they were years ago.
Sure, they are getting a lot of publicity and having some effect in certain areas, but then you have to consider which areas those are. Kansas isn't known as a hub of scientific discovery, for instance. It really doesn't matter what they want to believe. The world as a whole, including most Christians, see ID for the nonsense that it is.

It's a hassle to me (takes time). BugMeNot takes less time, especially with the extension or bookmarklet installed, and I feel no guilt because the NYT would'nt've gotten real information anyway.
I guess Bugmenot just needs to make a verification script/zombie so the "fakes"
can be tossed in the bin .
