I take offense at the mad scientist stereotype.

Being a research scientist, I am constantly struggling to downplay the "mad scientist/megalomaniac" stereotype. Some of us are merely irritated, not mad.

Instead, I choose to use the "overacting ham" stereotype to describe both Gregory Peck ('mad doctor' Mengele) and Sir Lawrence Olivier ('mad Nazi hunter' Lieberman) in "The Boys From Brazil," an awful piece of conspiracy crap about the potential evil of human cloning shown on AMC Monday morning.
