And pen and teller is a perfect study of what propaganda involves. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 16398850 No, you say this because you are some young, Leftist, "progressive" idiot. ![]() what's "leftist" suppose to mean? Does that mean pen and teller is "rightist" lol. And well progress is always good. So if you are progressive that's good. I'm not sure it's that smart to call progress idiotic. |

| Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 16398850 12/03/2012 01:39 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I just don't understand how you can watch a show like penn and teller, and not be disgusted by it. Unless you are completely as loopy as they are. like there is obviously a bias agenda there lol. They have made these videos like as if it was a movie, but they do it in interview format, trying to make out they are journalist or something hahahahha. It's nothing like journalism. It's unprofessional, it's disrespectful to people who are trying to do good in the world. And it's deceptive. like why and how do they get away with a show like that? Maybe it's because no-one takes them seriously or notices them. but their videos are just completely off the wall and wacked. No scholar would ever use penn and teller as a reference, and that's saying something. It's a comedy show, trying to convince, I dunno the bogans of society, that it's journalism. |

I think many are empowered to change the population. Some use it for the benefit of others and some deviate from the norm as a result.. ... inclinations and biological temperament haven't changed much over thousands of years ... Julian Assange |

But it' actually making other skeptics look much less credible. Cause they go under the banner of skepticism, when it's not really proper skepticism at all. Skepticism is suppose to be neutral. |
| Prostetnik User ID: 1447142 12/03/2012 01:43 PM ![]() Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | <snip> Quoting: Anonymous Coward 16398850 The thing is it's incredibly biased to the point of ridiculous. For instance the idea they want to make fun of, they will present someone that is suppose to represent that idea, and then they will get them to do something like flap there arms like a chicken, and that's suppose to give up the impressed the idea they are putting forth is therefore not credible. <snip> That is the point of Penn & Teller. This is their shtick. That is what people watch them for. If you don't like it, there are other entertainments. |

Penn and teller just look right ridiculous. It almost gets embarrassing, to watch their videos you start feeling stupid that you are even watching.

Just cause they throw in some cheap half baked magic tricks don't make them magicians. It make them clown journalist that hide under a banner of comedy, while trying to pass political ideas off as credible?? come on I know you guys are this stupid. |

Notice how NOTHING that "Progressives" ever want/demand involves rolling-back the power of the State, and getting Government out of peoples' lives? Ever notice that? "Progressives" are either "useful idiots", or statist scum with a power-grabbing agenda. |

No-one gets their knickers in a not like that unless they are completely bonkers. I personally like Penn and Teller. I've always admired their illusions as well as their show Bullshit. there show is called "bullshit"? hahahaha I like them but they are just retarded their views on things. And the fact their show is fantasy, doesn't helpwhen they are trying to express opinions that are suppose to be serious, and yet it's a comedy? But it's political. |

| Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 16398850 12/03/2012 02:12 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The thing that is so messed up about it, is how they always side with the argument that is most wrong, that's the thing that makes it really dubious. like there's something going on there for certain. I don't really care about their magic tricks. Anyone can buy magic tricks off the internet these days. It's not impressive i prefer serious magicians that actually have some decision illusions up their sleeve. The only real illusions they create that is worthy or study is the propaganda in there shows. |
