So, who is this guy that we should care what he thinks?
Doesn't seem as bad as our near-weekly reports of kids dying because their parents think prayer is going to save them instead of medical science. In remote, third world places, sure, but in suburban USA???
Oh God. Do I want to watch that clip or will it make me angry enough to sustain a nosebleed? There was this one woman (Wish I could remember her name.) whose clip was featured on Ben Goldacre's website, I think round about the time the NHS said it wasn't going to fund this nonsense any longer.
Anyway, long story short, she'd had cancer. Her brain, bone and lymph nodes were absolutely riddled with it and her doctors (St. Bart's, I believe.) had sent her home to die. Whereupon she met a homeopath, drank some magic water and ate some sugar pills and underwent a miraculous remission. Really. It was quite something.
By this point our convert had become the worst kind of zealot and she stomped off to confront the nasty mean doctors who had told her she was going to die (Doctors do this for shits and giggles all the time, by the way. Actually they like telling terminal patients the bad news, because they're arseholes like that.) and TELL THEM OFF FOR NOT UNDERSTANDING THE POWER OF MAGIC WATER
( ... )
Oh dear God. There's being ignorant and then there's this guy. And the use of Comic Sans is a Capital offence, it being red on black just means his execution will be especially slow and painful
Ah well. I enjoyed it. And what do you mean, you can't stand Pretty Woman? It was a delightful movie - witty, tender and actually deeply heartfelt in its insistence that whores are people too. (Except for the ones with meth habits and bad teeth who can't be gussied up in Versace and passed off as normal members of society. Ew.)

Too modest by far.
