    I believe the saying is pretty much on target in this case. One of the largest referrers to the knoxnews article you linked has been this URL:

    http://scienceblogs.com/pharyngula/2008/01/we_made_the_knoxville_news.php

    That’s a blog by University of Minnesota Morris biology professor PZ Myers, who’s known for his “left-atheist inclinations” as the article linked below puts it.

    How.
    Utterly.
    Ridiculous.

    Using this rationale, it would be perfectly reasonable for me to enter a sandwich shop and demand that they sell pizza and Indian food.

    After all, who are they to make decisions on what they will sell based on what the majority of their customers want to buy from them?
