Media Goes To The Wells To Make Up A Story

Our friends in the media get routinely beaten up about errant reporting. BBC News has found a way to publish complete crap and conjecture without worrying about appearing on a NARN segment of "This Week In Gatekeeping." One of the great things about this hypothesis is none of us will ever be around by the time it is conclusively proven wrong (kind of like global warming):

Humanity may split into two sub-species in 100,000 years' time as predicted by HG Wells, an expert has said. Evolutionary theorist Oliver Curry of the London School of Economics expects a genetic upper class and a dim-witted underclass to emerge. The descendants of the genetic upper class would be tall, slim, healthy, attractive, intelligent, and creative and a far cry from the "underclass" humans who would have evolved into dim-witted, ugly, squat goblin-like creatures.

After all, Jessica Alba has been around Hollywood for long enough to become a tree-hugging bleeding heart. So in the interest of "fairness," here's a local conservative who makes the morlocks look good:
