Bullshit!

Bullshit!

I love controversies, especially controversies that reveal the dirt of our ludicrous society. I also like magics and magicians, which make the show called Bullshit! even more fascinating to me. Bullshit is a show hosted by Penn & Teller, the famous magicians/comedians we have seen in various variety shows and movies. In this show, they attack anybody from P.E.T.A. to believers of the end of the world, from extra-terrestrial enthusiasts to believers of witchcraft and Ouija boards. For some reason, reason and logic don't apply to these people, and it is just fun to point our fingers at them and laugh at just how stupid they can be sometimes. It is true that if we should be ashamed of something in this world, it should be the species as a whole. Think about it, our corrupted governments and our money-making religious groups are all the results of human beings, like ourselves. 

That is not to say that our species is doomed to extinct in a few thousand million years. All I am saying is that minorities in this world are making our species look bad to others - if they are watching - by being incredibly baseless and stupid. It is incredible just how gullible ordinary human beings can be, the way that they swallow everything up like hungry dogs and how they do not question what they hear or what they see. That is not to mention how people can speak of the most ridiculous things with a straight face, and you're going to get all of that in Penn & Teller's show, Bullshit! It's a brilliant show, and I have a soft spot for anybody that dares to question with simple everyday logic. Making people look stupid is just a cheap thrill and a guilty pleasure of mine, and this show definitely has a lot of those moments. Always remember boys and girls, it's all bullshit and it's bad for you.
