Uh.. Oh... the phone telephathy guy really pissed some people off

It looks like some people aren't just rolling their eyes and shaking their heads at this telepathy research junk (see article a couple places down), they are pretty pissed off.

A furious row broke out today at Britain's premier science forum over the decision to allow believers in the paranormal to promote their views without challenge from the mainstream.
The row was triggered by the British Association for the Advancement of Science's decision to showcase highly controversial research purporting to demonstrate telepathy and life after death. Critics including Lord Winston and Sir Walter Bodmer, both past presidents of the BA, expressed particular alarm that three speakers who think paranormal phenomena are real were allowed to hold a press conference without challenge from sceptics. Some said telepathy has already been found wanting in experiments, and has no place at a scientific meeting.
This cartoon is great! haha
