Penn & Teller Bull****: Yoga, Tantric Sex etc., 5-13-04

Showtime, 9:00pm CDT:
The "Age of Aquarius" may be over, but its bullshit remains, and has worked its way into the mainstream. From yoga to crystals to herbs, New Age crap is everywhere. We'll expose the bullshit of Tarot Cards, and we'll travel to the Mecca of New Age, Sedona, Arizona, where we'll chant, sing, and seek a higher consciousness along with the parade of people who fill the town. We'll also pursue an unbelievable orgasm while holding a tantric pretzel pose in Hawaii. Breathe deep... and repeat after me... Bullshit!
Now this is in P's&T's wheelhouse. Should be an easy one to hit out of the park.

Watched the show this morning (the Lakers' game last night kept me from it; I was too wound up to watch anything after it).

It was OK. Easy, easy targets. The tarot reader segment was probably the best part with all the readers just latching on to the way the guy portrayed himself and basing their readings on it. Oh yeah, and the naked women with P&T near the end.

I have liked the shows on the more controversial subjects they've been doing lately more.

I only caught the last few minutes. That tantric sex "teacher" was giving me the dry heaves! He was so disgusting! Thank goodness for the hotties at the end.

Did that tantric sex guy remind anyone else of Soupy Sales?

Easy targets, but classic Bullshit!. I like the show when they're really exposing frauds, and this one had plenty of that, so I enjoyed it.
