Some classic comedy from the legendary Kids in the Hall show. If you’ve never seen them before, then you need to go and watch all their stuff right now!

Medical Miracle? She was on Chemo!
o, this women is on chemotherapy and has surgery to remove her tumors. They luckily didn’t return, and she is cured. While her doctors were busy using science to save her life, she’s given a disgusting old finger bone of some obscure dead priest by friend, and suddenly, we’re supposed to forget the fact she was being treated for cancer and believe a divine miracle saved her. So while the real story is we have another brilliant victory for science, these morons focus on her creepy necklace. Surely her survival must be the work of God! After all, he wouldn’t want this obviously brilliant woman to join him in his magical Funland just yet.
Great job Fox News in proving once again you have no journalistic credibility whatsoever.
How to deal with racists
I love intelligence in all its forms. Here we have ill Doctrine, a hip-hop video blog that I must honestly say is a huge dose of fresh air in an otherwise suffocating sea of ignorance (maybe it’s the stories I read, but you can sometimes go a little nuts out there on the web). I may not be a hard core fan of this genre of music, but I do enjoy his opinions. His Bill O’Reily rap is also something to behold.
Militant atheist
As someone who often is called a ‘militant’ or ‘fundamentalist’ atheist, I find this video to be very succinct and pretty accurate overall. Let’s hope this guy keeps making more of them.
Pale Blue Dot
We need a new Carl Sagan.
Tell it like it is, Bill
This one is a bit old, but I always love to listen to Bill make fun of religion. If you haven’t seen his movie Religulous, what the hell is wrong with you?
Now that’s a commercial
I like how in this fake commercial for Scientology, Hubbard’s book Dianetics is literally shooting out of a toilet. It won’t win any awards for subtlety, but I dig it.
I love this guy’s arrogance
Man, I love people who are arrogant and flaunt it. Maybe that’s also why I love Hitchens, I don’t know; it could just be his general attitude. I personally find it delightful watching obviously intelligent people ranting about the stupidity of religious belief. Who doesn’t?
Hitchens: why it’s a good thing God doesn’t exist
As we continue our coverage of everything Hitchens, I can’t help but notice how passionate he seems to be on this subject. He sometimes gives me the impression he’s half asleep in some lectures, but I have come to believe this may actually be a result of his heavy drinking rather than any lack of energy on his part. Let’s enjoy the man before his liver becomes pickled, shall we?
Richard Dawkins interview with Derren Brown
I love listening to professional charlatans about how they employ their craft. I can understand why some of them dedicate their lives to educating people about what they do. It’s kind of like the first time your apartment gets robbed; you get a small sense of just how crappy some people are. Derren is extremely popular; last time I posted a video, people were still playing it a year later. So yeah, I love Derren Brown.
I wanted to include all six, but for some strange reason, part 3 can’t be embedded.
Great speech by Robert Sapolsky on the nature of man
I’ve always said our biggest ‘fault’ as a species is our inability to come to terms that we didn’t ‘evolve’ from apes: we ARE apes. That fact is perhaps what is indeed so fascinating about human beings; we are a talented and unique hairless ape. Robert Sapolsky is obviously quite brilliant and insightful. I cannot recommend listening to this important lecture enough. He now has one more fan.
Any Dawkins fans here?
Here is a great interview with fellow Canadian Steven Pinker for fans of evolutionary science. The video is over an hour long, so if you’re going to watch this all in one sitting, might I suggest planning your afternoon accordingly. Trust me, it’s worth it!
Discovery Institute tries to censor YouTube
There are few institutions as corrupt, intellectually dishonest, and morally bankrupt as the Discovery Institute. Their name itself is a tragic irony; there is no ‘discovery’ going on there. All they are interested in doing is attacking the foundations of science in order to get everyone to abandon evolution in favor of creationism. They are heavily funded, ambitious, and as this video shows, without scruples. Everything is fair game to these guys. So we need to push back, and push back hard.
That’s why I’m so angry they are attacking YouTubers who are simply trying to expose them as the ignorant, anti-intellectual organization they are. Other than a website and a popular podcast, all I can do is spread the word. If any of you have some free time on your hands and happen to know the law, give this guy a hand, will ya?
I Love You, Stephen Fry
Can you imagine if a TV host in the US had answered the question “why do people believe in religion” with: “Because they are foolish, ignorant and scared”? I’m sure people would be freaking out instead of actually paying attention to the fact that he’s absolutely right. It is foolish and ignorant to literally trust that the stuff written in the Bible actually happened. How else can you characterize professed belief in a mythological text?
Hitchens Brings out the Big Guns
What could be more appropriate on a Sunday than listening to Christopher Hitchens bitch-slap some religious radio host around? I love how he gets the guy to admit that he is a slave to God. Whatever happened to free will?
