Penn and Teller are full of bullshit

I found this link to one of Penn and Teller’s ‘Bullshit’ programmes today via Boing Boing today, posted among various pieces on the awful gun massacre in Virginia. Among the usual cries from the “I want to marry my gun” fraternity (already some gun groups have been saying, see, if every student carried a gun they could have stopped this – yeah, that will work, lots of teens with guns, how could that go wrong? And of course high gun ownership has really cut violent crime in the US, hasn’t it?!?! Smeg heads). Anyway I watched this video; before it I liked Penn and Teller, now I think they are a pair of arrogant, foolish sods, showing an argument so one-sided and riddled with factual inaccuracies it might as well have been a bloody Fox news programme. Penn and Teller, you are full of it and after watching this I can’t help but think how bitterly funny it would be if they were both accidentally shot by Chuck Heston…
