The Biggest Douche In The Universe

I love the episode of South Park title "The Biggest Douche In The Universe". Below is the text of my favourite bit. The very end is also great.


JOHN EDWARD
So, you think you can talk to dead people
better than me, huh?!

STAN
No, I don't think either of us can.


JOHN EDWARD
They told me your show is getting better
ratings than mine, that you're saying
I'm a fraud on your show! You'd better
not ever call me a liar, or a fake,
or a douche again, or else I'll sue
you for slander!

STAN
I'm saying this to you, John Edward,
you are a liar, you are a fake, and
you are the biggest douche ever!

JOHN EDWARD
Everything I tell people is positive
and gives them hope! How does that make
me a douche?!

STAN
Because the big questions in life are
tough: Why are we here? Where are we
from? Where are we going? But if people
believe in asshole douchey liars like
you, we're never gonna find the real
answer to those questions. You aren't
just lying, you're slowing down the
progress of all mankind, you douche!


JOHN EDWARD
I'M NOT A DOUCHE! And I challenge you
to a psychic showdown! I'll prove to
the world that I'm psychic and you're
not!

STAN
Fine, douche!

JOHN EDWARD
I'm not a douche

Jackass goes to jail

The jackass goes to jail.

I guess I should have checked that wikipedia link to Kent Hovind. A little snippet is below.

"On November 2, 2006, Hovind was found guilty by a jury in a Pensacola, Florida federal court of fifty-eight federal tax and tax-related offenses; his wife, Jo, was also convicted on 44 counts. On January 19, 2007, he was sentenced to 10 years in prison, three years of probation after his sentence is served, and $640,000 in restitution. He had been previously ordered to forfeit $430,400 and faced a maximum of 288 years"

I have to admit I laughed. I didn't feel proud of laughing but laughed none the less. Schadenfraude is what it is :-S. So much for his high and mighty morals eh.

Ali G takes the piss out of some scientists and a creationist jackass "Kent Hovind".

Kent Hovind: Stupid, Delusion, or Concious fraud?

UPDATE: Kent Hovind is a charlatan who bilked money from people who don’t understand Science. “Since January 2007, Hovind has been serving a ten-year prison sentence after being convicted of 58 federal counts, including 12 tax offenses, one count of obstructing federal agents, and 45 counts of structuring cash transactions.” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kent_Hovind


You have to watch the Google video below to get the full expanse of this guys insanity. A more cynical view might be that he is simply playing to this crowd, as they are potential victims.
