Indiana Jones is just as ahistorical, but it's fine because no one thinks it's anything but fiction. The problem I have with Hancock isn't over whether it's entertaining, it's about the fact that he pretends his fictions aren't.

I think that Hancock is very entertaining and I enjoy reading or listening to him. I don't believe a word he says of course, but I was still annoyed that TED banned his talk for example. My point is, it seems that we need to protect people because they are stupid and will believe anything they read, but that deprives me of my entertainment!

Like a guy explaining why the earth is hollow is entertaining only if the guy is believing it. Don't ban the crazies, let them make their 8 hour monetized youtube videos on why elvis is still alive.
