my recommendation for the week...
you all should definitely catch this show at some point. it is why my parents basically stopped recycling! (inquire about this within!)
"Whether demonstrating how history's most perplexing magic acts are performed in their sell-out Las Vegas show and TV specials, or producing their own series that pulls the wool off the public's eyes, Penn & Teller's mission is to expose the truth to an otherwise desperate and gullible public. In Penn & Teller: Bullshit!, the crusaders utilize principles of magic and trickery, as well as good old fashioned 'hidden camera' sting operations, to smoke out these nonsense peddlers and reveal how they operate. They also call upon the scientific community for back-up. Penn & Teller have discovered that the evidence debunking bogus operatives exists in countless books, scientific papers and government-sponsored exposes -- research that nobody else has presented to the public with such zeal, passion, and conviction. As our increasingly anti-intellectual, anti-science culture moves on each day to new crackpot subject matters, Penn & Teller are there to aggressively shoot down whack-jobs and fuzzy thinkers, no matter where they originate."
i caught last nights for a little bit and it's just so damn interesting. they were debunking something along the lines of genetic engineering of food and were speaking with some vegan extremists. you all know the type..real preachy. yeah, i cannot STAND that! ahaha..but regardless, they do present some very interesting and valid points in their show. i need to watch this one more often!!! (besides the fact they are fucking HILARIOUS on that show omfG! he sez some crazy funny shit!)
