$\"Ham-Cant-Sink-This-Ship\"$ <\/p>\n

I shared a link on Facebook to Hemant Mehta\u2019s blog post<\/a>, which points out the irony of\u00a0Ken Ham\u00a0running an advertisement on a billboard in Times Square complaining that religious freedom is allegedly under attack. Steve Caruso<\/a> responded by adapting Ham\u2019s\u00a0billboard\u00a0to feature another supposedly unsinkable ship, and I\u2019ve shared it above.<\/p>\n
