An afterthought:
I don't know if anyone else is familiar with the work of the peerless British satirist Chris Morris, but here's an excerpt from his unspeakably brilliant send-up of sensationalist news magazine shows, "Brass Eye." This episode is concerned with the question of whether "Science" has "Gone Too Far." As was his habit, Morris managed to convince several prominent British celebs and TV personalities (and one CBE!) to endorse patently ludicrous causes and read some of the most hilarious fake data ever fabricated. Subjects as diverse as "Mutant Clouds," "Heavy Electricity," and two-mile-tall "Vertical Tube Farms" are treated with utter seriousness, and none of the "experts" seem to have a clue what the hell they're talking about.
