Penn & Teller: Bullshit! The Second Season

The duo blows the lid off taboo topics like... Contains: "Penn & Teller: B.S.! The Complete Second Season, Vol. 1" "P.E.T.A." - People for the Ethical Treatmen...t of Animals (P.E.T.A.) plays on our compassion for other living things while laying a trap to turn the tables on us: P.E.T.A. is against all forms of medical testing involving animals - regardless of the potential benefits to human beings...it's enough to make a vegetarian eat meat! "Safety Hysteria" - Hucksters are tapping into our hysteria over our personal safety to make big bucks. But crime rates are going down, not up. You're four times more likely to get struck by lightning than to be violently killed at school! "The Business Of Love" - Here's the truth - the first blush of love is a chemical reaction. And, like all drugs, it wears off after a while! We'll look into the myth of monogamy and the industry that preys on those looking for love. "War On Drugs" - America is waging a massive war on its home soil, a war it is losing. Our country spends $20 billion a year in drug enforcement, but the illegal-drug industry is thriving. By criminalizing drugs, we just turn non-violent citizens into criminals. "Penn & Teller: B.S.! - The Complete Second Season, Vol. 2" "Recycling" - Here's the truth: recycling is garbage. The recycling industry creates pollution, has to be subsidized by the government because it's cost-ineffective, and is completely unnecessary. Contrary to popular belief, our landfills are not running out of space - we have enough room to last for thousands of years! Hey, what country do we live in, anyway? "Profanity" - There's a culture war erupting in America, and "B.S.!" is in the middle of it. Some groups are trying to stop the use of profanity. They claim they only want to "clean up" the airwaves. But this new censorship is creeping into all aspects of society. "Yoga, Tantric Sex, Etc." - From yoga to crystals to herbs, New Age crap is everywhere. We'll expose the B.S. of tarot cards, and we'll travel to the heart of the New Age movement, Sedona, Arizona, where we'll chant, sing, and seek a higher consciousness. We'll also pursue an unbelievable orgasm while holding a tantric pretzel pose in Hawaii. Breathe deep...and repeat after me...bull****! "Fountain Of Youth" - The good news: we're living longer. The bad news: the older we get, the more we're made to feel that there's something wrong with that, and so we make futile efforts to turn back the clock. From Botox and plastic surgery to nutty diets and expensive facial creams that don't do anything. Here's the bottom line: wrinkles are inevitable. Get used to it! "Penn & Teller: B.S.! The Complete Second Season, Vol. 3" "Death, Inc." - People don't want to think about their own demise. What are we so freaked out about? We'll show you that, yes, even with death, there's much to laugh about. "12-Stepping" - Alcoholics Anonymous has freed thousands from the grip of alcohol addiction. Bull****! There's no proof that AA or any other 12-step program is any more effective than going cold turkey, doing things in moderation or getting medical help. "The Bible: Fact or Fiction?" - We'll reveal the many discrepancies and contradictions in the Bible. Did Noah build an ark big enough to hold all those animals? Did Moses part the Red Sea? Did Jesus even exist? We'll take on the most sacred of sacred cows to show that the Bible is about as factual as the "National Enquirer." "Exercise vs. Genetics" - Exercise Schmexercise. Here's the shocker: the power of genetics determines your body type. Throw away all those fitness machines, gym memberships, and exercise manuals; the size and shape of your body was decided the moment you were conceived. "Hypnosis" - Hypnosis combines an element of truth with a generous helping of bull**** lies. Some give up money to smooth-talking hypnotists who claim they can enlarge your pen** or achieve the ultimate orgasm. We hate to ruin your sex life, but that bull****!.Detailed info »« Brief info
