Blurred Visions

I've been watching a bit of Penn & Teller Bullshit these last few days (all your fault), though lately there seems to be something wrong with the links. It's basically about the dastardly duo poking fun at all the crazy and wacky things that people try to make you believe. Y'know, stuff like alien abductions or conspiracy theories. Top fun. :3

The stop motion animation technique was also used in the music video for Peter Gabriel - Sledgehammer

Yah, but that Peter Gabriel video wasn't anywhere near as trippy and Yellow Submarine-esque as the Michael Jackson one. Granted, it did have dancing chickens, but that at least made more sense than anthromorphic animals on roller coasters.

Hahahaa~ I really enjoy watching it too, though I don't always agree with them. They like to invite the wackos to talk about the other side. But the wackos don't get to have a rebuttal against criticism that is added after their interview. So when they voice their opinions, of course it sound ridiculous.

And the fact that they curse way too much! It's quite emotionally charged ("...and then there's THIS *asshole*..."), so sometimes you can't help but agree.

Anyway, sometimes there are eps on dailymotion and youtube, but you have to wade through all the other vids.

Hahaha, yeah. But then, that's half the reason why the show's so entertaining. :D If the nut jobs did get a chance to present counter-arguments, it'd probably turn out to be a bit like question time at parliament. Though, granted, nut jobs probably are a bit more composed than a lot of politicians. :P

I think they mentioned something in the first episode whereby if they called people "liars" or "conartists", they're liable for litigation, but calling them "arseholes" and "fuckers" is perfectly reasonable. That amused me greatly. XD

Oooh, I'mma gonna have to check them sites sometime for more bullshit fun times. :3 d Thanks!
