Celebrities flunking science: 2011 edition

http://www.nma.tv/celebrities-flunking-science-2011-edition/
Snooki has earned her spot on an annual list of celebrities who sprout "bad science" by declaring that the ocean is salty because of whale sperm. The charity Sense about Science releases a list of the most egregious celebrity peddlers of pseudoscience every year. Bill O'Reilly, Michele Bachman, Gwyneth Paltrow, Simon Cowell and Christian Louboutin also made this year's list.

In this animation, we explore the wacky beliefs of the celebs, from Bill O'Reilly's utterance "Tide goes in ... tide goes out ... you can't explain that" to couture shoe designer Christian Louboutin's statement that wearing high heels can be an orgasmic experience.

For these celebs, maybe their new year's resolution should be "Be Less Stupid."

If Michele Bachman and Bill OReilly would mate... their offspring would become the new right wing Supreme Holy Emperor of the US, and make the imperial decree that anyone who doesn't believe the earth is flat, 4-cornered, and held on the backs of giant turtles shall be put to death.

The high heels things, i think it was always because it made the calf more rounded, helps made girls too skinny have more curves, and girls with curves look more awesome ..... li-anne should show us an example

Unfortunately, it would be more surprising if Michelle Bachman and Snooki actually got their science right.

Yep, and they make your hips protrude.

I thought heels were attractive because they made your legs look longer?
