This one’s almost worth a flying pig; the BBC’s show on 9/11 “Truthers” was actually a well-done debunking of the charlatans and idiots who make up the so-called “movement.” (The hype leading up to it was another story.)

We get a good look at head idiot Dylan Avery, whose deliberately deceptive film “Loose Change” continues to suck in gullible people, and who was one of the nastiest trolls to infest LGF in our early days. He’s become a slacker version of Jim Jones, living in upstate New York with a bunch of similarly obsessed admirers. I especially enjoyed the part where he shrugs off Popular Mechanics as a bunch of tractor-driving hicks.

Here are some lengthy excerpts from the show, thanks again to LGF operative Kasper.

The only problem with giving this noxious lie so much publicity, even to debunk it, is that it may end up making it more popular—because it’s not a rational idea, and it doesn’t appeal to rational people. The publicity gives the poisonous meme access to more susceptible organisms.

But on this rare occasion, I salute the BBC’s effort to expose the Truther creeps for what they are.
