Title: Penn and Teller\'s Bullshit
Post by: videoholic on June 07, 2004, 07:24:32 AM

Any of you watch this show?

It\'s really good.  At least I think it is.

I\'ve seen two now.  I saw the one debunking the bible and the one slamming PETA right up the ass.

I have a couple more on my TIVO, but haven\'t had the time to watch them.

If you ahven\'t seen it, it\'s on SHowtime.  Not sure when though.

I saw teh PETA one. I laughed at a lot of their points! The editing is excellent work! They ought to do a BS one on Michael Moore.

I loved the two points about PETA.

they kill 2/3 of the animals they "rescue" by euthanizing them.

The Vice President uses diabetes medication derived from experimentation with animals.  But she says it\'s ok because she is working for the animals.

Nevermind.  I see where you atribute it to the show.  Search didn\'t pick it up because you put an asterisk in the shit part.


And as far as ooseven goes.  This is America.  We don\'t care about everyone else.

I have seen a couple of episodes. Agree or disagree with their statements you can\'t argue with the presentation.

I really wish a show like that could be on network tv.  

They wouldn\'t touch it.

There episode on the bible kicked ass.  They virtually said exactly what I have been saying.  

It\'s a bunch of stories by a bunch of people who were probably on acid.

They also broguth up a great point.  There were a bunch of "Profits."  Jesus could have just as easily been Armando.

Isn\'t there a way to fake the routing of your IP address to make it look like you are a cool American?
