It's a new article parody of a world where scientists are as popular as hollywood celebrities.

Scratch out the word "new". It was posted in 2001.

Also I should have wrote it - "It's a parody of the silly celebrity gossip magazines. This is what the world may be like if science was more mainstream than hollywood.".

I wish I lived in that world too...however, it would be a scary place full of smart people who aspire to being thinkers instead of just WAGS/famous!

People used to be interested in science.
And then the 70's happened.

Blame it on the hippies.
