Wired News: Some Sex With Your Clone Perhaps?

Some great Investigatory journalism here… Two “amateur documentary makers” (aka, kids with camcorders) “infiltrate” (walk into) the Raelians and take yet unreleased “rare video footage” of a Las Vegas seminar.

This “documentary” (which nobody has seen) was made with the intent to “further tarnish the group’s reputation and even help shut it down“. So it’s bound to be good investigatory reporting, right?

Oh wait… here’s the clincher “One ‘gotcha’ moment shows the Raelian leader riveted by the erotic gyrations of Raelian dancers.” Riiiiiight!

I’m always amused when I see these cookie-cutter cult articles, they must have a template somewhere which they pass around.

• Expose Evil Leader (especially evil because they continue to illude prosecution for thier crimes)
• Sex
• Control (either through sex or evil leader, or aliens in this case)
• Obligatory Rick Ross quote
• SEX
• Catchy title (including Sex, Aliens, Clones, or all of the above)
• PROFIT!!!
