"I went to attend a screening of the creationist propaganda movie,
Expelled, a few minutes ago. Well, I tried Š 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. I assured him that I wasn't going to cause
any trouble.
"I went back to my family and talked with them for a while, 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. Like
right that instant."

Do read the rest...
