What a great program, where they take the micky out of so called scammers. watched it for the first time and topic was about Meat. These idiots reckon the chickens caged up 24/7 is liken to the Jewish holocaust! :rotfl:They interview the guy who shows his website where he has two pictures, one chickens being badly treated and the other pictures of Jews in a nazi concentration camp during the war. Then goes on to say why they are simular:roll:

Save the chickens:doh:

Can't wait for next week its about McDonalds:)

Yep. P&T got their start doing stage magic, and showing the audiences how it was done. Made a lot of their fellow magicians a little unhappy.

Two great videos/movies:

Penn & Teller Get Killed

There are many others, and they've done a lot of TV appearances separately and together. Bull$#!+ is the show that 'water' clip is from, and they debunk a lot of things.

One of the funniest things about them is the schtick: Teller never speaks. Actually, Teller used to teach high school Latin, and speaks seven languages fluently.

I liked their take on The War on Drugs.

To use their analogy, if in 1970, you bought $40 worth of heroine, it would be like paying for a dozen donuts, but only getting half of one donut.

Comparitively, in 2000, the same $40 would buy you 12 dozen donuts.
