Is it just me, or is this the best show on TV?

It's a great show.

It's just you.

Who's the @sshole who thinks that it's better to hang toilet paper over rather than under? Only a retard would make that mistake! x

Yeah but it's been delayed because of the writer strike.

Yeah, it's a great show. I wish it was a little more scientific, however.

just you!

The few other responses seem to indicate that this statement is false.

I was reading that the reason they use so much profanity is because, under US defamation laws, it's perfectly ok to call someone who claims hypnotism can make your wang larger an asshole, but calling them a liar or fraud isn't.

Funny, huh?

According to the site, it's already begun.

Is it me, or does this show run around exposing the obvious?


I've only seen you tube clips, but it doesn't seem that great.

Some of them are obvious, like hypnotism, PETA, or creationism, but a lot of them are political issues with two sides that don't exactly fit in, like pets, hybrid cars, obesity, or Mount Rushmore. They had to issue a correction when they based some of their attacks in the smoking episode on faulty science.

You'd think that things such as the idea of creationism = science being a load of crap would be fairly obvious , wouldn't you?

Yet, as long as people keep believing in nonsense, debunkers are always needed.

War on drugs: http://youtube.com/watch?v=HRutaNMZt54

Outstanding. The war on drugs is the ultimate example of a conspiracy of the inferior herd of humanity in opposition to the minority of transcendent �bermensch. I have absolute pity for anyone who's never smoked smack or crack. I did buckets of drugs throughout my teens and 20s and it did me no harm whatsoever, save for the excessive black market expense which burnt a giant hole in my wallet, money that would otherwise enter the state purse and be invested in teachers, policemen, nurses if these products were legal. My dad was an NYPD cop (and an acid-taking 60s hippie) and he taught me a lot about how drug illegality deters police attention away from rapists, serial killers and terrorists.

And funnily enough, I can see why you wouldn't.

The top side is softer. A little trade secret.
