No, you thicko, it _is_ funny, because anyone who would take it seriously is a _complete fucking idiot_ who needs a hefty dose of reality and to stop reading so many crappy conspiracy theory websites.

This guy appears to be your typical “WE CAN’T TRUST TEH DOCTORZ” nutcase, appealing to cases from decades ago and ignoring any pertinent evidence that applied in the meanwhile. He has no idea what he’s talking about, and his lack of information is pretty obvious to anyone with even a layman’s understanding.
