I have a confession to make: I have a new favourite television show. Now, as you may or may not know, I rarely watch television. I have caught a bit more however since I have been seeing The Boy. If you get Showtime, I encourage you to watch Penn & Teller: Bullshit! It is so funny and true at the same time, pointing out and invalidating things that should be commonly known to be bullshit.

From Showtime:

No matter how popular a form of bullshit is - and regardless of what deep pockets or beloved figures support it - Penn & Teller are pit bulls for the truth, poised to tear down these myths in the most jaw-dropping fashion possible with their trademark wit and off-center comic sensibilities.

Beware faux miracle workers, yogis, dervishes, televangelists, zealots and cult leaders. Penn & Teller have you in their cross-hairs with a new series that strives to spark controversy, headlines and water cooler fisticuffs!

I did miss the first four episodes, but the two I have seen so far (addressing second hand smoke, baby bullshit, penis and breast enlargement products and aphrodisiacs) have been extremely entertaining. If you have Showtime, be sure to check it out. The next episode, whose trailer looks uproariously funny, will address Feng Shui and bottled water.
