The Spherical Truth

Al Gore appears in a controversial upcoming movie, The Spherical Truth. The documentary film explains how "global roundness" is a very real situation, and identifies flaws in theories based on the world being entirely flat.

Think Progress, Fox News, and other groups that exist solely to campaign against anything that might hinder in any way the economic interests of those they represent, have campaigned against the film, citing claims it "hinders the economic interests of those we represent".

"After finding out anything we possibly could to smear this, we have discovered the following shocking facts - the economic impact of a global roundness may possibly have some effect on the flightpaths of aircraft, which in turn may cost some airlines some indeterminate amount of money, which in turn might mean that cost is passed on to passengers, which means some of those we represent might maybe have to pay slightly more sometime - and that Al Gore once said 'poo' when he was 12" said one representative, whose job it is to say these and other similar things with a straight face and a suit/tie or lab coat.

Scientists have not been too enthusiastic about the film either. "This is like, primary school stuff" claims one professor. "There's no point making a movie about how the world is round. It's freakin' round. We know it already, Mr Gore. All the proof that could possibly exist points to this single, painfully obvious fact, and I cannot comprehend why this is still an issue for anyone bar those that are entirely sheltered from the outside world. No scientist that doesn't have a specific interest in declaring otherwise, and there aren't many, would ever question global rounding. It's round - don't argue the point, deal with it."
