Penn&Teller Bullsh*t!

I kind of love Penn & Teller...

I like that show. I watched many episodes when I was subscribed to Showtime. I rarely saw anything I disagreed with.

The PETA episode was a blast. They hit PETA hard and it was fun to watch.

Another episode I liked was about the "recycling" business. Nothing in that one surprised me; it was sheer fun to watch.

 

You know, I've never seen them before.
Brilliant stuff.
Tnx., Zoe.

 

They are kind of... fantastic thinkers, but magicians are all about illusions, so they are more cognizant of deception and manipulation.

I even like how they debunk typical magician tricks... "Lift-off" "Trap door"

the only thing that changes...is that they get more expensive props to do it.

I'd never seen this until I was traveling on business and caught their show in my hotel room...loved it! I'm always a fan of calling out BS.

Thanks for the reminder, Zoe!

 

Hey, whats wrong with bull shit? It's just as bad as human shit, or duck shit... :wink:

No, I just knew that would give you an opportunity to show off your critical thinking skills. I'm a little disappointed.

Without going into details: size matters.:biggrin1:

 

Okay, I so did not need to see the geriatric dude restoring his foreskin.

 

I was more worried about the pitch black babies' penises...is that normal?

It looked like a botch to me.

 

Great posts, Zoe73!! I cracked up at the very end of the PETA video, where Penn says "BULLSHIT!!!" and then it cuts away immediately... LOL

 

Yeah, I didn't care to see Wayne Griffiths's willy. Moreover they could have cut *oops* the entire portion about foreskin restoration and used that time for debunking R.I.C.

Overall, I was pleased that they did the episode but was ambivalent about how they did it.

 

I think I appreciate the 9/11 conspiracy episode the most. It was starting to piss me off that people were pedaling videos and requiring anyone to "PAY" to know the "REAL" truth about 9/11 being an inside job or shitty movies like "loose change" were being shown as fact. It was offensive as all get out and be clear there was no fucking explosion in the Pentagon. There were plenty of airplane fragments scattered over the parking lot, highway by the Pentagon. I'm just shocked at how people take something that is tragic and sensationalize it to draw attention to themselves and believe their version and speculation is fact. Suddenly people were experts in physics and chemistry and fire-fighters giving lecturing the masses that the government was lying and it was inside job.

It was pure bullshit and I love his statement that people like that "whack to tragedy."

 

loose change?

Mayhaps you have not seen the even more revealing Unfastened Coins!

 

sorry, the opening music and the simulated typing credits on the screen, gave me this urge to stab myself with a ballpoint pen. I decided not to watch it, no offense.
