Last month, FOX News host Bill O’Reilly showed the nation how easy it is to gain internet infamy virtually overnight. In a debate with American Atheists president David Silverman, O’Reilly tried to prove God’s existence in true ignoramus fashion by citing the ocean’s tides as a perfect parallel: ‘I’ll tell you why [religion is] not a scam, in my opinion. Tide goes in, tide goes out. Never a miscommunication. You can’t explain that. You can’t explain why the tide goes in.’ Well, the moon might feel a bit differently about that one, Bill.

O’Reilly later attempted to clarify his comment with the following question: ‘But where’d the moon come from?’ Eh, not so much. Scientific dubiousness aside, the inter webs people knew this one was just too damn good to leave alone, and in a matter of clicks, O’Reilly’s gaffe was well on its way to becoming a full-fledged meme. And by golly, I’d say it’s just about gotten there! Take a peek at some of the greatest hits so far and, if you’re feeling inspired, peruse and create your own at Meme Generator. Once again, Bill, your supreme stupidity never fails to entertain and astound even the most jaded of us.
