If you want to be a serious player in today's very semiotically literate world, you don't hire your 16 year old cousin to design a logo that can't be easily reproduced on the merch. Even punctured teenage feral logging protesters are more sophisicated than that.

Dont they ever pause and think "Hang on, Im gonna look a real jackass in 20 years time if it turns out the scientists were right". Google "arseclown" in 2030, and you'll get a full bio, with pics.

Put plainly, he clearly misrepresentented the scientists work, got caught out and continues to stick to his story no matter the consequences. To his credit all the negatives have been posted but I don't think he's taking it well. Actually, it was only a matter of time before he got nailed like this. Serves him right.
