Creation: The United States is STUPID

So, yeah. A British film about Charles Darwin starring Paul Bettany (the albino from Da Vinci Code) will not be shown in the United States for reasons you can probably already guess:

US distributors have resolutely passed on a film which will prove hugely divisive in a country where, according to a Gallup poll conducted in February, only 39 per cent of Americans believe in the theory of evolution.

What is most bizzare is that the movie focuses upon the internal conflict Darwin experienced between his faith and his work. So a movie that might provide a sensible insight into contemporary issues in the United States of Retardation will be neither shown nor viewed because "ZOMG EVOLUTION".

It's really quite a tragety, though. I mean, this would have provided a delightful distraction for Glenn Beck and the FOX News crew. Schools in the south and midwest could have used this as another sign of the "War On Jesus", or whatever the fuck they call it now. This could have sparked a brand new debate in the south and brought about a few more laws which require the teaching of Creationism in the classroom. And shitheaded cockgobblers could have had something new to protest after getting their flu shots.

But what saddens me the most is that this looks like a really good movie. So to watch it I'll have to order it from another country; but I have no desire to pay the required shipping fees.

It is the year 2009. And after 150 years we are still arguing over Darwin's finches. Because, of course, Jesus made every single one of the little fuckers. And H1N1. Remember how Jesus made H1N1? Yeah. Hopped right on the Ark with Noah and his labradoodle.

Fuck Shitting Damn It All.
