I don't either. Here goes:
Penn and Teller do something preposterous that only people with small minds will believe.

The end.

Well, it is really stupid. And, you are looking at the wrong channel.

I'd watch a Penn and Teller special this time of night on Cinemax. A little softcore action from those jokers has potential to be incredibly entertaining. I'll bet the fat one has nice breasts.

I actually enjoy the show. Some of their episodes are way out there, but many are pretty interesting. My favorite one has to be the one where they talked about how much bottled water is a crock of s**t.

It's a good show.

for those who don't know, it has nothing to do with their magic act. It's them exposing dumb bullshit.

You mean it wasn't obvious?

Well, it is, but some of the facts they dug up were pretty funny/interesting. Highlights:

-A couple major bottled water companies basically bottle tap water and sell it.
-The FDA has fewer health restrictions than the EPA, so bottled water has much more lenient restrictions on what harmful chemicals may be in there than tap water.
-People's perceptions of taste largely come from their perceptions of the brand.

That's about all I can remember. For what it's worth, though, here's a complete episode list:

Tonights episode was about reparation to the bl... african americans.

[Jenson71]

What'd they say about the Boy Scouts?

Reparations. There is an ingenious idea.

That way they can continue feeling like they are owed something for bad things that happened well before their lifetimes and they can keep not doing what it takes to succeed in life.

They = welfare and the like.


I have never really watched Penn and Teller for whatever reason. Would be kind of nice to see them ripping on silly ideas and things such as bottled water.

PETA- that would be a good one.

They will need to pay the red man, before they pay the black and yellow men.

Good point. What we did was far worse.

I took several American Indian studies courses in JC years ago. Real interesting classes, probably my favorite.

My roommate has Seasons 1 and 2 on DVD. I've seen them all, some are pretty interesting, some are stupid. What pisses me off is that they bullshit through some of the episodes themselves to either emphasize their point or make the show more interesting, it's ironic but not funny.
