Dawkins now just telling random strangers why he hates them

RICHARD Dawkins has taken to walking down the street saying horrible, unprovoked things to total strangers.


“You must be so disappointed in yourself”

The former scientist leaves his house in Oxford at 11am and immediately begins hurling brief insults at anyone who comes within 10 feet of him.

According to local residents, a typical 30 second burst will include phrases such as ‘please don’t have children’, ‘you look like a baptist’, ‘everything about your shoes sickens me’ and ‘your face seems to be inside out’.

Neighbour Martin Bishop said: “If he sees a woman in a burka coming towards him he’ll shout, ‘oh fucking hell, here we go’.”

a British version of The Onion. Dawkins may be prickly but I doubt he's gone completely mad.

The "article" is pretty funny, though.

as opposed to stupid satire like some other sites that are often referenced on DU as true, unfortunately. This one was pretty funny.

He has been so beaten up lately, that I think some humor at his expense might tickle him.

Why do you have feet anyway? Just use them to walk away from me and don't come back until you can think.

He's a dick-with-a-small-d, but I'd hate to see him--or anyone--deteriorate like that.

With that said,
