David Attenborough on Religious nuts. (x-post) from /r/davidattenborough (i.imgur.com)
submitted 1 day ago by jimdalyxoxo
[–]cherrycheesecake 59 points60 points61 points 1 day ago
I felt this was needed before people misunderstood the picture.
The caption of the middle finger was taken from David Attenborough's First Life: Conquest which can be seen here at 8:07: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6vg4vSYRyNU
The use of the middle finger was not in a way to offend anyone, but rather in the same way that the index finger is used when pointing to objects.
[–]KingTyr 55 points56 points57 points 1 day ago
Thank you sir. Why someone would want to make it seem like such a classy guy as Attenborough would even think of giving people the finger is beyond me. That's simply not his attitude, and I'm glad it isn't.
I abhor those who want to coddle the religious as though they should be protected from anything offensive. But don't pretend that Attenborough has such poor taste as this. Far from honoring him, it demeans him.

The non-classy aspect is the moron who chose this still frame from the video to misrepresent the intention.
[–]raikux 7 points8 points9 points 1 day ago
I love his voice.
[–]Justaidan 0 points1 point2 points 1 day ago
I know, his voice is so relaxing and well-suited to nature shows. Since he has been doing them so long he is literally the voice of nature shows to me and a lot of others.
[–]Galihan 4 points5 points6 points 1 day ago
Ive been watching Planet Earth every day for the past week now and cannot read this without hearing his voice.
[–]--Heisenberg-- 0 points1 point2 points 1 day ago
I remember watching a documentary on penguins (I think) a few months ago, narrated by Morgan Freeman. It was OK, but it just wasn't DA! Both have great voices, but DA wins in this fields, as he knows what he's talking about, and you can tell that, as opposed to MF, who you can tell is just reading a script. Doesn't have the passion in the voice.
[–]Stainless-S-Rat 7 points8 points9 points 1 day ago
My man! Attenborough, integrity in journalism.
[–]FSMfan 0 points1 point2 points 1 day ago
Indeed. Love me some Planet Earth. Best documentary ever, IMO.

[–]kiefstone 2 points3 points4 points 1 day ago
I like that this picture has been reposted so many times that the image quality has taken a noticeable decline.
[–]mercury996 3 points4 points5 points 1 day ago
This man is to me what Morgan Freeman is to reddit. I will weep when he is gone...
[–]OryxConLara -1 points0 points1 point 1 day ago
But... but... Morgan Freeman is God!
[–]isometimesweartweed 0 points1 point2 points 1 day ago
My dad's worked with him a few times. Apparently just the most incredible guy.
[–]awhitt8 0 points1 point2 points 1 day ago
TIL David Attenborough has a subreddit dedicated to him.

I read through that, saw he was British at the bottom, then had to reread it again in a British accent. No regrets.
[–]--Heisenberg-- 1 point2 points3 points 1 day ago
You need to watch one on his documentaries, so you can read it in his voice. You won't be disappoint.
[–]OnionWillDesecrate 0 points1 point2 points 1 day ago
I don't understand the downvotes. :/ You legitimately made me chuckle.

"From the BBC Documentary Life on Air" should be changed to "From almost every BBC Nature Documentary" :D
[–]BulletproofMuffin 0 points1 point2 points 1 day ago
I think it means that the quote is from the Documentary "Life on air", rather than "David Attenborough, who appeared in the documentary Life on Air". It's sort of based on his memoirs - there's a book by the same title, and the name is in reference to his time in broadcasting.

So, he tolerates them and doesn't criticise them, like soe immature twat?
[–]JoseAntonioSaraiva -22 points-21 points-20 points 1 day ago
lmao look at that hat, that oldman looks seriously retarded...but if he's atheist he must be a cool person IMO
[–]reallyannoyed 7 points8 points9 points 1 day ago
Fuck me, you are stupid. Firstly, he is one of the most brilliant people ever, and secondly does that mean that you think all atheists are cool?
Either way, you are a moron.
[–]JoseAntonioSaraiva -8 points-7 points-6 points 1 day ago
I don't care, he looks like Alvaro Vitali
[–]reallyannoyed 5 points6 points7 points 1 day ago
I was right. You are a moron.
[–]Curvedsword 0 points1 point2 points 23 hours ago
