Anyone else watch Penn & Teller?

Post by LordShaithis »

They have a series on Showtime titled "Bullshit". This was the first episode, and they spent it debunking talk-to-the-dead psychic assholes. They also subscribe to the Lord Wong style of etiquette, wherein they call them assholes and motherfuckers even as they debunk them. Fun fun.

One of the promos had lots of little words rushing by, names of various forms of bullshit: Mediums, UFO abductions, and so on. Creationism was in there too, so maybe we'll get to see them take that on in the near future. :twisted:
If Religion and Politics were characters on a soap opera, Religion would be the one that goes insane with jealousy over Politics' intimate relationship with Reality, and secretly murder Politics in the night, skin the corpse, and run around its apartment wearing the skin like a cape shouting "My votes now! All votes for me! Wheeee!" -- Lagmonster

Reviewing movies is a lot like Paleontology: The Evidence is there...but no one seems to agree upon it.

I mean come on, this is info the public needs to know. Maybe P&T will go into syndication like Stargate.
