A simpler explanation of Bell's theorem: http://drchinese.com/David/Bell_Theorem_Easy_Math.htm

Yep a lot easier to read

BUT the last paragraph I wasn't too sure about

"Please note that there is a way out of this seemingly impossible scenario, but the loophole may be difficult to swallow: if Einstein's Relativity is wrong, and the speed of light is NOT a limit for propagation of cause and effect (which is called "signal locality"), then that would give us a way out of the situation. Theoretically, there could exist non-local hidden variables (Bohm outlined such a theory, for example). But regardless, the net effect of Bell's Theorem is profound. Reality is somehow dependent upon how we observe it.
"

Can anyone explain how Einstein being wrong gets out of the seemingly impossible scenario?

If c isn't the limit on information transfer, then faster (possibly instantaneous) communication isn't a problem.
