Hilarious, particularly "big-pimpin'" Daddy Dennett:
I can't make up my mind if it's meant to skewer Dawkins or whether it's meant ironically as a way of making fun of ID creationists and how they view Dawkins...

There was a brief flurry of surprise a while back that Richard Dawkins acknowledged the possibility of extraterrestrial life, and that it was even possible that aliens might have visited Earth — for some reason, creationists thought this was hilarious, although it's actually a very clear element of…
Krauze at Telic Thoughts has a post about the recent disagreement between Sandefur and I that was posted partially here and partially at Positive Liberty. First was my post objecting to Daniel Dennett's suggestion that Genie Scott is being less than sincere in arguing that evolution and religion…
Someone in all this brouhaha (I can't remember whom and can't find the comment online) claimed that only creationists use the phrase "Darwinian Fundamentalist". The phrase actually originated with Stephen Jay Gould (New York Review of Books, June 12 1997) for the "conviction that natural selection…
Can I call it a ceremony? It wasn't very ceremonious at all.
We sat down first to watch a live video stream of Bill Maher's show, with special guest Richard Dawkins. It was good, it was funny, it was abrasive, and Maher didn't say anything crazy at all. Dawkins did not get much of an opportunity to…
I'm pretty sure it's mostly at the creos with some snarky hits on "big science's" attitudes.
Either way, it's damn funny.
I'm OK with it either way; get my laughs where I can. But I strongly suspect it is the latter.
I don't think Creationists have the sense of humor necessary for this sort of thing.
I'm kinda ashamed to say it's pretty catchy...
Oh, and Bronze Dog is 100% correct.
One of the strongest argument that this didn't come from the creationists behind EXpelled is that there are no Nazi references. You think they could have resisted a Hip-Hop-Hitler?
I agree with Rev. BigDumbChimp's interpretation.
It's mostly a smackdown of creos, while also comparing the perceived attitude of "New Atheists" with the sort of silly bravado that you find in hip hop. Very clever, all up.
It was made by an agnostic Hindu.

I told you my homies were gangsta!
Not only do I think it's pro-science, I also think it was done by someone who either is involved in the fight, or has followed it closely. There are too many inside references - a simple thing like PZ's squid hat shows that the creator is aware of that aspect of his interests, which is not something that has been brought up in connection to the whole Expelled debacle.
You mean "was," cuz. "I told you my homies was gangsta."
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
It's stuck in my head now. I can't get it out!
Does this make Eugenie and PZ honorary horsepeople?
Somebody should sneak this into the screening copy of Expelled. I wonder if they would like it too.
You mean "was," cuz. "I told you my homies was gangsta."
i told u my homies wuz gangsta caus ur ma bruva dats y homie!
It's a triple-reverse-satire of ID.
But yeah, there's too many in-jokes that ID folks wouldn't be aware of, like PZ's squid hat or Hitchen's "I (heart) (booze)" headband.
Hilarious either way.
And now we have an awesome retort for idiots and tards.
"DICK TO THE DAWK TO THE PHd, I'M SMARTER THAN YOU, I GOT A SCIENCE DEGREE!!!"
Someone should find out who did it, and award them an Internet.
Hilarious. Dennett, especially. Linked ya.
The Expelled! folks would know about PZ and his squid fetish. Note that, other than Genie Scott, all of Dawkins' posse is the "new atheists" rather than evo supporters. No room for any theists like Ken Miller?
Whoever did this was sloppy enough to make "Ph.D." a central part of the lyrics without checking to find out that Dawkins does not in fact have a Ph.D.. He has an M.A., a D.Phil. and a D.Sc.
WOW!
You people are so arrogant that you won't even realize when someone's making fun of you.
Wow, just... wow.
Hey Atheists! Why do you laugh at this video? It's insulting you, you ought to be angry and mad, not to have fun! It's mocking your atheist pope Dawkins, your priests Myers, Hitchens etc and YOUR GOD DARWIN!!! Why don't you burn cars on the streets or something, show us how angry you are!!! You are embarrassed and offended, you hate the author of this video, don't pretend you can make fun of yourself (nobody can!), you are very angry, hateful and furious!!!!!!!! SHOW US HOW MILITANT YOU ARE!!!!!!!!!!!
"Hey Atheists!... and YOUR GOD DARWIN!!!
There are several good free dictionaries online. Look up "atheist". Look up "God". Do you see the problem here?
You people are so arrogant that you won't even realize when someone's making fun of you.
Of course, this video makes fun of atheists, but atheists are not muslims - they won't get offended by a cartoon. This video is just funny and if somebody tried to piss off atheists, then he failed. There will be no death-threats, no mass demonstrations, no call for censorship. This is what pisses the believers on this issue, that atheists aren't such thin-skinned pussies like they are.
Gee, Creationists can't even tell when their conspiracy theories are being played over the top to induce parody. This thing's intended to make fun of how you idiots perceive Dawkins and such.
'Creationist' is a parody, right? Playing on all that 'militant atheist' nonsense.
Of course, this video makes fun of atheists, but atheists are not muslims
Uh, wow.
...or are we?
