Penn & Teller - Bullshit! The First Season is due out March 30 and the box displays the title in big, bold, red letters. This is sure to offend some people's tender sensibilites by its mere existence on store shelves. I'm interested to see how the stores are going to handle this. Most likely Wal-Mart isn't going to stock it at all.

It's possible that the plastic for the covering covers up some of the offending phrase, like they do with pornos in a bookstore.

There's two different box versions. One has a censor on it (pretty funny, I might add). I'm assuming the more independent stores (or maybe just online stores) will carry the uncensored version of the box.

I thought I saw somewhere an alternate cover billed as "Bullsh*t!" (with a little disclaimor pointing to the modified title and saying something like "this censorship is bullsh*t!")

Wish I could find a link. Thought it was a cute way to get the title in some stores.

I doubt my local DVD store will get this in. I kept meaning to have it ordered specialy for me so I could get it on release day, but I wasn't sure how to tell the clerk "I'd like to order a copy of Bullshit."

I wish it came with a t-shirt. :(

Although the local video store here has told me that they're getting a huge uncensored window display for this, and they will put it in the main window.

i'd like to get this show at some point, but for those who are definitely picking it, will you buy the censored version, since it is funny (the disclaimer)?

i'm assuming the only thing actually censored on the censored version is the full title on the package, right?
