I'd love Hitchens, or someone of that caliber, to pull that off in talkshow: just show that picture and say it's not a human. And after the nutters have lost their shits and raged for minutes, reveal that it really is not a human, because, it is an elephant.
Comedian Ben Gleib did that to the always loathsome Charlie Kirk on his own show with a picture of a dolphin fetus and it was glorious 😄
I am not American, and TIL Charlie Kirk is a real person in the media and not just a stock photo of a guy with a memeable face.. 😂
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.
A little bit late for Hitchens to do that. I'm not super excited about Dawkins doing that either (or anything he does in general), then the current visible faces of atheism advocacy seem docile to the point of being innocuous, and most of the past ones have turned out to be dogshit.
Is a visible face of atheism advocacy who is assertive, unapologetic and militant, without seeking hate-induced controversies for the sake of doing profitable grifting too much to ask for?
pro-lifers are basically just the socially acceptable version of PETA / militant vegan types imo. both have a belief system where a thing is considered murder, so they don't do the thing. which in itself is fine, but then they call other people who do the thing evil, even if they don't share that belief system. And then they try to force everyone to not do the thing...
there is the small unimportant distinction that one of the things being protected is proven to have emotions, social vibes, feel pain and fear. The other is a lump of cells
Also, it's kind of laughable comparing women's reproductive rights with the right to eat cheese.

No. I don't respect a form of life that makes me breath its jizz. Allergy season isn't fun.
Which is why I only eat rocks, being careful to only select the ones with no moss or lichen.
It's no kind of tasty and it's murder (pun intended) on the teeth and jaws but totally worth it for being able to be holier-than-thou at the most insufferable vegans.
