Creation Museum -- Adam did WHAT!?

[Killick]

For those who haven't heard, Bible-thumpers have opened a Creation Museum in Kentucky that highlights their belief that God created man and evolution is a false theory. Ummmm, okay.
So, they open and there's fanfare. Then, there's this:

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The man picked as Adam by a museum based on the Bible’s version of Earth’s history led quite a different life outside the Garden of Eden, flaunting his sexual exploits online and modeling for a line of clothing with an explicit mascot.
Registration records show that Eric Linden, who portrays Adam taking his first breath in a film at the newly opened Creation Museum, owns a graphic Web site called Bedroom Acrobat. He has been pictured there, smiling alongside a drag queen, in a T-shirt brandishing the site’s sexually suggestive logo.
Linden, a graphic designer, model and actor who grew up in Columbus, also sells clothing for SFX International, whose initials appear on clothing to spell “SEX” from afar and serve as an abbreviation for its mascot, who promotes “free love,” “pleasure” and “Thrillz.”
The museum’s operators, informed Thursday by The Associated Press of Linden’s online appearances, acted swiftly to suspend airing of the 40-second video in which he appeared.
The clip is one of 55 featured on tours of the museum, near Cincinnati in Petersburg, Ky., which tells the Bible’s version of Earth’s history that the planet was created in a single week just a few thousand years ago.
“We are currently investigating the veracity of these serious claims of his participation in projects that don’t align with the biblical standards and moral code upon which the ministry was founded,” Answers for Genesis spokesman Mark Looy said in an e-mail statement.
Linden told the AP that he is no longer affiliated with the site. He described it as “from my past.”
“It’s a different story when you grow up a little bit,” said Linden, 27. “I’m a Web designer and I was trying to think to the future and capitalize on different domain names, just trying to be clever. I handed the domain name off to somebody, so I really don’t know what’s going on with it.”
Ownership records available through the NetworkSolutions database show Linden registered the site 18 months ago.

;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

We've had a thread on the museum, but not on their Adam being the bedroom acrobat.

Don't see how, since this just hit the wire.

Also, wondering who they got to play Eve. The drag queen 'Adam' was pictured with?

"The ***** [Eve] set me up!"

I can't believe this warranted an AP story. (Maybe it was a rewrite from a newspaper, but my criticism still applies).

So an actor in a 40-second museum film clip once had a racy Web site. Who cares??

Does any shlub unfortunate enough to appear in this museum's 55 films deserve to have his/her background probed? It all seems a bit much.

Well, apparently the museum cared enough about it to pull the video. What's not to get here?

FWIW, this was under an AP byline, written by the AP statehouse correspondent in Columbus. Apparently a slow day at the Ohio capitol, but I bet she's sorry she ever answered the phone.
