Perfect.

Hilarious!

Except the part about the line of people shuffling in to rape him. He doesn't deserve that. But he deserves every second of those ten years and then some.

Posted by: Oran_Taran | July 5, 2007 3:06 PM

ha ha ha... that's just great.

Awesome! Poor little Kent, it must be really hard when you commit yourlife to lies and it bites you on the ass.

Posted by: Steve_C | July 5, 2007 3:34 PM

I wonder what Kent thinks of the OctoSquid!

The 2 People + 4000 years = 8 billion is a little off, since world pop. is at over 6 billion.

Wow, I laughed so hard I almost pee'd

Thanks for putting this up!

Posted by: Todd | July 5, 2007 3:48 PM

Okay, who's going take one for the team and post a linky on Kent's blog?

Posted by: molecanthro | July 5, 2007 4:02 PM

damn you! i couldn't stop laughing for ages and i was forced to email the link to multiple people...including my mother!
absolutely wonderful song and excellent animation.

Great video- catchy tune and well-drawn. But yechhh... I just linked to Kent's blog. There's a lot of "enlightened" people out there wasting time and energy praying for him. I wonder what was in his god's plan for dealing him this sentence in the Big House? I hope he's busy taking more than one up his ass for the team. Then maybe he'll finally understand what a dino-sore bone is?

From one of the comments about the sentencing of Mrs. Hovind:

"I feel sorry for this judge as it is obvious that she doesn't know that you don't shake your fist in the face of an Almighty God... He knew the beginning from the end of this whole thing and IF she must go to prison, it is because God is putting her in the right place for someone to hear the gospel."

So first, the judge was defying god by sentencing Mrs. Hovind to prison. But then it turned out the judge was actually doing god's will by doing so. So why be angry with the judge for doing what god wanted all along?

At least nobody ever accused these people of being consistent.

Another funny music video can be found here-

It's a play off of this video where a creationist lady accuses Hitchens of a small penis (granted- I couldn't get excited around her either).

I just finished praying to Triglav that the three of Him will smite you for your willfull denial of His supremacy, Bill. I'd buy some lightning, fire, and earthquake insurance if I were you, you ignorant savage.

Is anybody else worried that Bush will pardon this tool when he leaves office?

#17

Posted by: Stogoe | July 5, 2007 7:04 PM

maybe the 8 billion refers to all the people that have lived in the last 4000 years?

SteadyEddy @10:

Hovind is in prison because he deserves to be. But he doesn't deserve to be raped. Nobody does. I hope earnestly that he will pass his sentence without suffering any indignities beyond the well-deserved indignity of being imprisoned in the first place.

That prisoners in America are routinely raped, and that many Americans find this acceptable and, indeed, amusing is just one more piece of evidence that Americans are, on the whole, a pack of disgusting savages.

We need not worry too much about Bush giving Hovind a pardon on his way out the door of the White House. "Dr. Dino" is not connected well enough to the Bush operation to merit special treatment, being neither a Bush administration official nor a major political contributor. His ass is stuck in prison (and here I agree with those who decry the thought that he ought to be sexually abused while there; it's enough to keep him penned up).

By the way, as regards presidential pardons... Last year I imagined that Bush & Cheney would figure out a way to cover each other's asses with pre-emptive pardons. I did get one detail wrong in my prognostication -- the Senate did not end up in a tie after the 2006 elections. The rest might still be true. You can read the dark fantasy here: Pardon my president. (I apologize for the naughty word in it, but it's unavoidable in any story that includes dialog by Cheney.)

Very catchy tune, just have to be on guard I don't start humming it at work, or else I'll blurt out the chorus before I can stop myself....

Found it interesting that this is just ONE of the entries for the contest to make this song into a video. I think of the few entries so far, this one stands head and shoulders above the pack. I personally think the song could worked just as well without the profanity and the rape references, but it just goes to show that atheists can get just as angry and low as Christians can.

#22

Posted by: Scott Hatfield, OM | July 5, 2007 8:53 PM

I'm not sure that this is as 'low' as the so-called Christian who lies for Jesus and knows they're lying, like some of the members of the Dover School Board. At least the makers of this piece are telling the truth as they see it.

That said, it's pretty vulgar.

#23

Posted by: RAM | July 5, 2007 10:23 PM

Dammit, that was funny! That tune will be playing in my head for the few days now. And I'm sorry, I feel no compassion for this person, he's a leach on society and peoples gullibility. When he's released as a felon, I really hope he is deported back to Australia.

You know, I saw this a couple of days ago, and thought about mailing you the link, PZ, but then I thought. . ."Nah, he gets tons of mail, and he'd never be interested in this anyway." Just goes to show.

Mischief managed.

It's sad (and a bit annoying) that the singer feels the need to repeatedly insult the guy, but the song and the video are just too cute so it's ok.

#27

Posted by: Masklinn | July 6, 2007 4:11 AM

Damn, I just realized it was a contest based on a previously made song, forget about my previous comment.

When he's released as a felon, I really hope he is deported back to Australia.

Forget it, mate. Kent Hovind is a 100% USA-grown cretin. You are thinking of Ken Ham.

#29

Posted by: RAM | July 6, 2007 11:01 AM

Your absolutely right, I was confusing him with Ham.
Yet another lowlife.
Do you think Australia would want him anyway?

Why is I keep thinking of George W. when I watch the animation?

#31

Posted by: MikeM | July 6, 2007 1:46 PM

Very subtle.

Pretty funny. I enjoyed that.

Does anyone else remember the "Gathering of Eagles" at The Wall? Someone went and made a video of it. The satirical blog, "Blogs for Brownback", has a link to it:

http://blogs4brownback.wordpress.com/2007/07/04/336/

Where the Hovind video is just funny, the Eagles video is not.

#32

Posted by: MikeM | July 6, 2007 2:05 PM

By the way, today is George W's birthday.

Mine too, as it turns out. I share a birthday with George!

Not much else, though.

#33

Posted by: Chaoswes | July 6, 2007 2:42 PM

Remember that if Hovind is raped in prison it is Gods will. There is no deserve. How are we to know they will of God right?
I agree that this is a huge problem in the US prison system. However, it is not as prolific as Hollywood would have you believe. In my humble opinion, even one rape IS a huge problem.

YouTube has opened up a whole new medium for editorial commentary. Was just browsing YouTube yesterday and found these comedy clips:

lol! I just pee'd a little in my... oh wait, I'm not wearing any pants.

That. Was. Funneh! I will be humming this to myself for daze and daze.

The singer sounds a bit like Chris Collingwood from Fountains of Wayne.

Coulda lived without the rape jokes, but heck, when in jail shouldn't you do unto your cell mate as he would do unto you?

But if it was consensual, Hovind might finally figure out how to date a big bone.

Just to let you know, CSE had this video removed from YouTube for "copyright violations". Youtube has banned several users, including the Rational Responders due to CSE complaints. There seem to be many video responses:
