Don't laugh, guys.
These people are that most dangerous of creatures:
Unlimited enthusiasm
Unlimited money,
Unlimited authority,
LIMITED (or nonexistent) knowledge.

Don't, don't, DON'T contact them or mess with them in ANY WAY!
Let them have their fun and the storm will die down.
Get there attention by trying to "educate" them
(or worse- ridicule them) and you will start a witch-hunt
and s***-storm we will all regret.  I worked with these guys;
I know what I'm talking about.  Leave it alone, please!
