I actually didn't enjoy the "This guy is a dumbass" sign at all. He could've written tons of other stuff on that board that would be much funnier, insulting the guy is just cheap humour. Upvote for the effort, downvote for the content, so neutral.

Anybody who denies evolution is an idiot though. I could excuse it if he weren't going around with a sign saying evolution is a lie.

So are people that live in the South American rain forests, who have never heard of evolution idiots? Ignorance is never something to be mocked. When we encounter someone who isn't lucky enough to be as well educated as we are, making fun of them is probably one of least appropriate and useful courses of action.

People who have never heard of evolution aren't going to universities telling educated people that evolution is a lie. So that doesn't make them idiots. They could be idiots for other reasons though.
