You Know You Messaging Plan Is Not Working When …

Keith’s note: You know that the message plan NASA has been trying to roll out is not working when signs carried by protesters outside of KSC today say “Obama lied – NASA died”. It gets worse: I also received a link to a YouTube video from someone sitting at their desk at NASA that uses captioned movie footage of an actor playing Hitler to criticise the Obama decision on Constellation. This ain’t good folks.
Keith’s update: Oh yes – to all of you who are demanding that I post a link to the Hitler video: No way. I find even a casual comparison of anyone to Hitler under any circumstances to be reprehensible and I will not allow this website to be a party to that. If you do not like this policy, then go find another website to read. There will be no further discussion on this topic. Alas, Portal to the Universe, “the latest Cornerstone project of the International Year of Astronomy 2009 (IYA2009)” apparently thinks that Hitler jokes are funny. The posting is by “AmericaSpace” which is run by Jim Hillhouse. Using Hitler – in any context – is never funny and only serves to drag any associated discussion into the gutter.
