[Ironic subject title] The American Family Association needs your help
Edited on Fri Aug-12-05 08:13 PM by Synnical
This is a forward of a forward of a forwarded e-mail
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Once again, the right-wing American Family Association is taking an online poll. This time the question is whether Intelligent Design should be taught in the public schools, or evolution only. I encourage you to participate in this poll, so they get a better sample space than their pre-selected audience.

http://www.afa.net/petitions/intelligentdesign/TakeSurvey.asp

At present, their poll is running 95% for creationism and 5% for evolution.

(I'm also going to post this in GD - where it will promptly die.)

2. this is funny
They have all these measures in place to prevent du-ing, since we got one of their polls pretty badly a while ago. But you can enter a fake e-mail address, submit your vote, and click the back button to do it all over again.

So far, the following mysterious individuals have voted in favor of evolution only:

First Last E-mail
you people fear@reality.com
djames kennedy has@atightass.com
iate some pancakes.com

The last one obviously isn't a real e-mail, but they didn't seem to mind.

I have some time on my hands; maybe I'll single-handedly tie it up tonight!

This is a highly biased poll considering they can anticipate their site will be mostly visited by fundie whackjobs.

5. Shucks
No mention of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. Obviously a stupidly biased poll.

9. The FSM is the sauce of all life.
Their stupid poll even defaults to a yes vote. Morans.
