Continuing with the strange story of the movie Expelled which I first addressed a couple months back…

The saga of Ben Stein’s Expelled just gets curiouser and curiouser. The back-channel story here deserves to become a movie in its own right.  I have collected several links which tell the story (so far) exceedingly well. Here is my suggested reading, viewing and listening order:

• PZ Meyers account of being expelled from Exposed.
• A video interview of PZ Meyers and Dawkins reflecting on the curious events.
• Richard Dawkin’s subsequent review of Expelled: Lying for Jesus.
• Colorado Confidential: Intelligent Design goes to the Movies.
• National Center for Science Education’s official response: ExpelledExposed.com
• The Skeptics’s Guide: #140, Interview with Eugenie Scott (segment 3)
• Skeptiality podcast: No Intelligence Allowed! - Interviews: Professor Richard Dawkins and Dr. Michael Shermer.
• Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed–Scientific American’s Take

A distinctly American phenomenon.
