I don't know why everyone constantly brings up Sokal without also mentioning the Bogdonav Affair: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bogdanov_Affair . Seems like the pot calling the kettle black.

The difference is that the Bogdanov's did their best to seem real, while Sokal et al. did their best to seem fake.
