Awesome.
Psi, I hope you are a fan of Penn and Teller's Bullshit. If not, do yourself a favor and download it. http://www.mininova.org/tor/172372

My friends and I LOVE Penn and Teller's Bullshit. It's a little humbling for me because I'm the only "active" Christian in my crew of friends (I use the term active very loosley here) and they love to rip on religion. My favorite episodes would have to be the ones on Conspiracy Theories, Swearing (Where they change the shows name to "Humbug" for one episode), Prostitution, and Manners.Gaiseric wrote:Awesome.

Of course they're biased. Penn himself says that "...we're fair and we never take people out of context. We're biased as all fuck. But, we try to be honest." It's not like this is a news show, it's on Showtime and you should know what you are getting into. They're not trying to pass themselves off as journalists, they just talk about what they think are some of the most fucked up people in the world. They do tend to get only interview the most idiotic defenders of whatever they are going against and tear the shit out of them, but that's what makes the show funny.Buzkashi wrote:I thought I read reviews somewhere that there hella biased.
EXAMPLE:
In the "Profanity" episode, they are out to prove that the act of swearing itself should not be considered vile and rude, they mean to show that the emotions behind words are what makes them bad, not the word itself. Anywho, they meet this woman who is doing a one person campaign against sweat words, and she is listing off other, more pleasant sounding alternatives, one of which is "Santa Vacca!" which is a phrase that eludes to some saint from a different religion ( I can't remember which) And she justifies it by say "It's OK, it's not MY God I'm talking about."
Also, every single theorist in the "Conspiracy Theory" episode is 100% batshit fucking loco.
