Yeah, I posted early, but I figured some weren't aware that it was starting back up. Every Thursday 10 pm ET with lots of repeats (and it's probably on VOD too if you have that). Don't know how many eps there are this season.

First seven episodes (I don't know if that's all):
War on Porn
New Age Medicine
NASA
Dolphins
Sleep, Inc.
Being Green
Sensitivity Training
"Being Green" would be the one I'm most looking forward to (surprise, surprise!). All in all, a pretty good line up of topics, I think.
[oops]Isn't the word "Bullshit" not supposed to be in the thread title?[/oops]

I wasn't aware there was a big war on porn... I figured it was one of those, "some groups hate it, but what can they do about it?" I don't think any anti-porn propaganda is a real threat to the industry.

Ask the U.S. DOJ whether they are engaged in a War on Porn.

They should've done one on internet gambling, specifically relating to online poker.

Happy this show is back! Thanks for the post because completely didn't realize it was starting up again already. Always happy to have something else to watch during the summer.

I've seen a few episodes and it seems like a fun series. But I don't know about some episodes. Is the 'Being Green' one going to tell me I'm a chump for trying to save electricity and not dumping my garbage in the nearest river?

I wasn't terribly impressed with this one. I was surprised they didn't even discuss the government prosecution of the porn industry. That's the biggest problem. Not what the random nuts believe. Unfortunately, some of those nuts find their way into government.
I always find the feminist arguments about the exploitation of women in porn ironic since 1) women far outearn men in the industry and 2) feminists offer up the "it's the women's body, therefore her choice" argument when it comes to abortion.
