Penn & Teller Bull**** Season 3 Starts Monday April 25

Yes, it's that time again. Bullshitters of America beware, Penn & Teller have you in their sights.

Episode 3-1:
Circumcision

Monday, April 25 at 10 pm ET/PT, 9:00pm CT

Finally, an episode that will make every man feel regret, cringe with pain, and grab their genitals. What would make the male sex react like this? Two words - snip and chuck. If this alone doesn't make you cringe then this will: when your foreskin was removed thirty percent of your sexual pleasure went with that little piece of skin. Ouch!

We'll examine the historical, religious, medical and ethical arguments associated with circumcision. And we'll have a little hidden-camera fun with the topic, as well. After all we are talking about dick!
Hmm, originally being from the Tribe of Abraham I'm not sure I want to see this. Oh, of course I will.

Episode 3-2:

Family Values

That should be a riot.

I also wouldn't mind seeing a show on Satanic Panic and the West Memphis Three.

Woohoo!

Great opening topic - there is no reason (outside of religion) for parents to have this insane procedure done to their sons.

TV Tome has the first six of the season:

3-2 302 02-May-2005 Family Values
3-3 303 09-May-2005 Conspiracy Theories

I hope they concentrate on JFK on "Conspiracy Theories."

I'm so glad DirecTV gave me 3 months of free Showtime. Now I don't have to rent the DVDs for the show.

I hope they don't split the season up like they did last year. However, I figure they will.

It's Showtime. I figure we're lucky if they don't cancel the show in the middle of an episode.

Hmmm, true. I can't really see Penn saying, "You know, college is good for a lot of people, but it just isn't a requirement to make a good living like a lot of people would have you believe."

Conspiracy theories and College should be good, but the others I'm not exactly super excited about. Wonder if P&T will touch on the recent medical study that showed Circumcision doesn't cause any loss of feeling in your wang.

I can see them having a lot of fun with life coaching.

It sounds amusing, but I'm not sure what it is.

Yeah.

Whenever I hear that term, I immediately think of Famke Janssen in Nip/tuck.

I have no idea what "life coaching" is, but it sure sounds like BULLSHIT.

I thought the same thing about the subjects and the "removed thirty percent of your sexual pleasure" line, which is more like the BS they are purporting to debunk. The anti-circumcision side is MUCH more prone to bending the truth. The same people will claim with a strait face that it reduces sensation "up to 40%", yet leads to premature ejaculation, and it causes both erectile dysfunction and excessive masturbation.

Well, the college textbook industry is very scammy. It's not unusual for students to have to pay around $100 for a single textbook that has a buyback value of maybe $20 at the end of the semester. IF it's bought back at all. Typically, the next session of the class is using the latest edition, making the previous edition "obsolete". And what improvements have been made for the latest edition? Usually nothing more than superficial changes that are there just to warrant a new edition.
