Clearly a parody

Heh. I had to save it to view the whole thing, but I was able to.

Also, I'll be attending an "ID vs. Evolution" debate at the local community college and I wanted to completely tear the ID people up and down. Just hit them with questions they obviously won't be able to answer.

So far, I have these two:

Since intelligent design does in fact support evolution, which do you think is more likely allopatric or sympatric speciation?

Given that ID expresses a belief in intelligent agency during the evolutionary process, how does it account for things like harlequin type icthyosis (also known as harlequin fetus), autoimmune disorders, and a vitamin c pseudogene in humans and apes that is "broken" in the same location.

I'd like 3 to 5, and that's all I can think of.

Thanks!

this is about as funny as the low octane "dildobert" parodies that occasionally pop up on myspace kiddie sites (I have a 14 yo gdaughter). I fail to see how slagging a cartoonist that writes a three panel strip about moronicity in corporate amerika promotes science education.

And I fail to see how your comment promotes world peace.

it doesn't mr. reynardine....I'm just suggesting that calling someone a dickhead because he holds religious beliefs is a good way to get a fuck you response from the putative dickhead (the generic method of discourse here), and general dismissal of the entire discussion from the majority who don't care...

Holds religious beliefs? Another Dilberthead here said Adams was an atheist. Can't you guys make up your minds?

Steve, reread the comic. The point just sailed waaaaay over your head. This isn't about religion at all.

er.. well, it's funnier than the Scott Adams' article started the mess, but that's a low bar to clear.

Thank you for your efforts, BronzeDog, but I'm afraid it's too stiff. Don't give up parodying cartoonists, but don't think you're done with art when your work is only that good.

Yeah, I realize it's not quite another Christians & Crusades (which is about religious nuttery), but figured I might as well, since it's been almost a whole year since the first Image Dogtoring. May try another if I'm feeling more inspired.

ROTFLMFAO!!!!

Scott Adams is a total doo-doo head!!!

yo bronze, the point didn't sail over my head. my point is this whole damn blog is, in essence, no religion vs. religion using a discussion model on the amoeba vs. carnivorous plant level. I could care less about adams. I just hope my gdaughter doesn't decide that scientists are jerks an decide to become a pro skateboarder.

You mean we weren't playing dueling non sequiturs?

I just hope my gdaughter doesn't decide that scientists are jerks an decide to become a pro skateboarder.

Why? Pro skateboarders get paid more.

Gee, steve, I thought I was pointing out Adams's use of circular logic, Humpty-Dumpty fallacy, and argument from lack of imagination. But you had to drag religion into it.

I fail to see how slagging a cartoonist that writes a three panel strip about moronicity in corporate amerika promotes science education.

This isn't filed under science education, dipshit, so you're attacking a strawman. and he's not being slagged for writing about moronicity in corporate amerika, so the fact that he does so isn't relevant.

I'm just suggesting that calling someone a dickhead because he holds religious beliefs

What the HELL are you talking about? Not only isn't that what you suggested in your first post, but no one has done anything of the sort, dickhead.

Scott Adams is a tool.

There seem to be a lot of points that are your point. I thought it was something about how Adams shouldn't be slagged because he writes about moronicity in corporate amerika. Oh, but now you say "I could care less about adams".

I just hope my gdaughter doesn't decide that scientists are jerks an decide to become a pro skateboarder.

You should be more concerned that your gdaughter decides that you're a jerk, because you obviously are one.

And I fail to see how your comment promotes world peace.

Read more closely. He said he's promoting whirled peas.

He said he's promoting whirled peas.

The whorer... The whorer...

I thought the punchline was done quite well - in exactly the same style Adams uses. Thanks for the larf.

llewelly,

Too stiff? You mean like the Dilbert cartoons themselves?

:p

My past experience with truth machine render this a classic case of the pot calling the kettle black. That said, the pot has a point.

Good point.

That's just whore-able. Whore-able, I tells ya.

For all their sins, the Chick tracts have a much richer graphic style than Scott Adams's work. That offers more material for the altered text to play against, so the text doesn't have to work as hard, and it's easier to make a perfect parody.

It's harder to hit perfection — but darn, this one was pretty good.

Is this parody? That might be one of the most insane groupings of words I've read in a few weeks.

Scott has replied in the comments section of The Bronze Blog...

He talks about the 'subtlety' of his position, so I asked for him to elaborate.

Too stiff? You mean like the Dilbert cartoons themselves?

Adams has confessed that he couldn't draw when he started, IIRC. In any case he has managed to become a success in spite of that.

Now it turns out he also doesn't have a sense of humor in his private sphere. The man must be a genius.

Can I propose we start calling Scott Adams...... ScotAdams?

"Scott has replied in the comments section of The Bronze Blog..."

Or at least someone claiming to be him.
