Hilarious segment on The Daily Show - “Science: What’s it up to?”
This is a great parody of the sort of criticism science gets from the anti-intellectual right in this country. Aasif Mandvi does a great job of getting his interviewees to agree to ridiculous incriminating statements. This one was my favorite:
Aasif: What’s the point of teaching children facts if it’s just going to confuse them?
Noelle Nikpour: It confuses the children when they go home. We as Americans, we are paying tax dollars for our children to be eduCAted. We need to offer them every theory that’s out there. It’s all about choice. It’s all about freedom.
AasifI: It should be up to the American people to decide what’s true!
Nikpour: Absolutely! Doesn’t it make common sense?
