I went to attend a screening of the creationist propaganda movie, Expelled, a few minutes ago. Well, I tried … but I was Expelled! It was kind of weird — I was standing in line, hadn't even gotten to the point where I had to sign in and show ID, and a policeman pulled me out of line and told me I could not go in. I asked why, of course, and he said that a producer of the film had specifically instructed him that I was not to be allowed to attend. The officer also told me that if I tried to go in, I would be arrested...and then the officer came back with a theater manager, and I was told that not only wasn't I allowed in, but I had to leave the premises immediately.However, his "guest", Richard Dawkins managed to attend the screening.
For the movie, both PZ Meyers and Richard Dawkins were being interviewed. However both biologists said they were misled into participating by being asked to be interviewed for a film named Crossroads.
