Expelled for Plagarism!

Expelled and the Bush Administration have something very much in common: they're evil, lying fuckwits who like to pretend they haven't broken the law. And they can't stop. They can't stop lying, cheating, stealing, or whining.

Premise Media, the incredible gang of assclowns behind Expelled, is going to need more lawyers soon. I think Alberto Gonzales should apply. He'd be a perfect match.

So, you knew it was coming. It's not even news: Expelled has ripped off still more people. The entire fucking movie is nothing but plagarism.

Today, it's revealed that they filched from John Lennon:

Having ruffled feathers in the scientific community, the filmmakers behind a documentary questioning evolution theory have now incurred the wrath of one of the most powerful figures in the popular music business, Yoko Ono, and have generated a blogosphere mini-drama in the process.

The flap concerns the film's use of the song "Imagine," by the late John Lennon. Bloggers had accused Ms. Ono, Mr. Lennon's wife, of selling out by licensing the song to the filmmakers. In fact, her lawyers say, she never granted permission for its use.


Well, we knew they were dumbshits, but pissing off Yoko? They're suicidal as well, apparently.

But wait, there's more! They may also have stolen from the Killers. I know, I know, it's shocking.

In other Expelled legal news, ERV got her hands on a copy of Premise Media's SLAPP lawsuit against XVIVO. Her assessment?

It is quite possibly the dumbest thing I have ever read in my entire life. And I have read the Bible and Atlas Shrugged.

Yepper.

I can hardly wait to see how many thousands of people stumble out of the theaters tomorrow shouting, "Hey! They stole my work!" I don't think there are enough SLAPP lawsuits in the universe to help these asshats now.

At least we can see with blinding clarity exactly why it is they got Expelled. Flagrant, prolific plagarism is still frowned upon in academic circles.
