    Penn and Teller: Bulls***! Season Three

    I missed P&T on AA, but I did catch the "South Park" episode. Which, of course, has since been pulled from the air. Though not for offending AA. I believe it was the Catholic League that took offense to that episode.

    Penn and Teller: Bulls***! Season Three

    I suspect your re-edited post and mine both speak to a certain reticence to discuss this issue on this forum. Indeed, to stay within the bounds that Jack requests we observe. And even though we seem to be in disagreement about an issue explicitly raised and directly addressed during this...

    Penn and Teller: Bulls***! Season Three

    Your prose is a bit slippery, Mary, and I confess I'm not entirely clear as to your meaning. Forgive me for treading so delicately, but I would not wish to presume falsely. And please don't feel compelled to respond if you're not comfortable doing so, but you seem to want to engage on this...

    Penn and Teller: Bulls***! Season Three

    Mary, I apologize if you thought I was contradicting you, but I didn't take the time to read your post before putting mine up. Any general snarkiness was not directed at you, and I apologize if the appearance of my post after yours implied such. It was not my intent! :) Lord Badin-Powell was a...

    Penn and Teller: Bulls***! Season Three

    This might end up being my favorite episode of the season. Was I aware of the Boy Scouts' exclusivity and bigotry, at least over the last decade or so? Yes. Was I aware that they'd been hijacked by one of the more right-wing religious sects in the early 90s? No. Simple solution here. No...

    Penn and Teller: Bulls***! Season Three

    Excellent episode, though a mild tonic to the usual fauning rhapsodies we get from the press. Still, Mother Theresa's grim take on Christian mercy and predilection for gladhanding oppressors should be no surprise to most, but it was great to see Hitchens holding court with his endless series of...

    Penn and Teller: Bulls***! Season Three

    They've already touched on this in both the "Hypnosis" and "Alien Abduction" shows. The ritual satanic abuse (and child sexual abuse) hysteria generally emerged from the same "recovered" (confabulated) memory thing that often relied on the heightened suggestibility of the person submitting to...

    Penn and Teller: Bulls***! Season Three

    Thanks for the info... I had no idea these were on DVD (nor that it already had two seasons under its belt)!

    Penn and Teller: Bulls***! Season Three

    I only got Showtime a couple weeks ago... damn, this is my favorite new show! Last night's on "Family Values" and "Hypnosis" were fantastic (is the second episode a rerun from a previous season?). I haven't watched much else on Showtime, and generally find their original programming to be a...
