OMG, this is the most hilarious scientific research video parody I've seen. It is a fly-on-the-wall view of what happens when a research paper is sent out for peer-review and the mysterious reviewer #3 demands more experiments before the paper is accepted for publication. Unfortunately, it is closer to the truth than the public (and even some scientists) realizes ...
"Or I could write it up for Scientific American."
Hahahaha!

I'm not going to comment too much on this, but this is hilariously wrong.
Usually when one sets up a parody website, they at least have the courtesy to indicate someplace on the site that it is in fact a parody.

This Jack Chick parody is a bit incoherent at times, but parts of it are still pretty amusing nonetheless. I'm still not entirely sure what it's about, and maybe someone can help me out there. This particular parody seems to be a parody put together from more than one Chick tract.
I don't know about other fields, but in my field the "open access" journals had some of the top scientists as editors and reviewers who, in their own words, were sick of the slow process leading to the publication of mediocre articles in the printed journals.
I refuse to write anything up for "Scientific American"; I think they had gone downhill very quickly around the time Martin Gardner stopped contributing.
