Penn & Teller's Bullsh*t

[Pangloss]

Anybody else watch this show?

 

I did a quick search and saw that Sayonara started a poll about the recycling episode, which I just caught in re-runs the other day. Some fun posts in there.

 

I'm hoping for new episodes to start soon.

I really like what those guys do, I read about them a lot on James Randi's site. What channel and at what time are they on?

[Pangloss]

It's a Showtime thing. I think that's why a lot of people haven't heard about it, unfortunately.

[Hellbender]

yeah I don't get showtime. Darn it. Do they have any DVD's out or anything?

[Pangloss]

Yes it's out on DVD. I actually rented it from Netflix a while back, but it wasn't compatible with my DVD player for some reason.

maybe he means the "how recycley are you" thread?

 

that`s the only one I can think of.

I've seen a few of their shows, including the creationism one and the Armageddon one, and they were both hilarious. Especially when they noted that creationists believe the same thing as the Raelians, just with a different "intelligence".

Yeah it was on recycling in general. Good thread.

 

One thing I like about P&T:BS is that they aren't afraid to challenge politically-correct thinking. A lot of skeptics these days trend to the far left and adhere to PC-thinking (global warming leaps to mind -- I've read lifelong skeptics refer to anybody who challenges any aspect of that issue as "global warming deniers"). But a skeptic (not to mention a scientist) shouldn't be afraid to challenge any assumption or assertion.
