Raptor Jesus Eats Sarah Palin

Rock, Paper, Scissors gets a much-needed reboot…

My only problem with this is that it's assuming a lot about the relationship between Sarah Palin and Raptor Jesus. I think things could quite easily go the other way around.

Americans Decided to Be Not Quite Sufficiently Evolved to Handle Movie About Charles Darwin

Sorry, America, but it has been decided by the U.S. film industry that you're just too stupid, ignorant and closed-minded to get to watch a new movie about actual real testable science…

The film was chosen to open the Toronto Film Festival and has its British premiere on Sunday. It has been sold in almost every territory around the world, from Australia to Scandinavia.

However, 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.

Instead, why not choke down some fucking shirtless emo vampires? Enjoy.
