Penn and Teller's Bullshit!
We are currently making our way through the first season of Penn and Teller's show on the Showtime channel called Bullshit on DVD. It's a half hour show devoted to proving whether such things are ESP, psychics, creationism as science and reflexology are full of crap or not. If for no other reason, you should watch for all the swearing. Apparently they figured out that by using swear words - and we are talking hardcore "mother fuckers, assholes, mother fucking scum sucking asshole", etc.. - they are free to say what they want about people without getting sued till the next millenium for slander or libel. And with what they are discussing, they are going to need that assurance. Now, I don't always agree with them, which is half the fun, but they do make you think about what you believe and often send you running to your computer for more information and in the days of the Bush presidency and media exploitation, that's an amazing thing.
