Funny.
I've stumbled across many a website similar in tone to this parody. In the days when I taught 'science' as a whole, rather than just my own speciality, I often spent time debunking such conspiracy theories. 'The moon landings were fake' was a commonly held belief and no doubt it still is. Some memes die harder than others ;)

Yeah - I remember deciding that it might be useful doing lessons on the moon landings given the high proportion of pupils who seemed to believe they were faked!

The odd thing about that meme is that it confers no real advantage (except possibly that of being seen to be stupid, which is a debateable advantage at best).
