Evolução: 'too hot to handle'

"Thorsell runs the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto. Lee, The Observer's operations director, had heard Thorsell on CBC's weekday drive-home show plugging a new visiting exhibit about the life and work of Charles Darwin. In the course of the interview, Thorsell mentioned that the museum had been unable to secure any corporate sponsorship for the exhibit, which was highly unusual. Follow-up news stories painted an even starker picture: major corporate sponsors had shunned 'Darwin and the Evolution Revolution' everywhere else it had been mounted — in New York, where it originated, in Chicago, in Boston. The consensus was that Darwin and evolution were 'too hot to handle.'"
