Penn & Teller

[Bugbear]

That's why I miss the rock lawns of Phoenix...I threaten to "convert" my lawn here in Southwest "Misery" to one every now & then, complete with barrel cacti and Yucca plants!

That's exactly what I have in my front yard. I'm planning on starting a milkweed hedge next year.

In the very first episode Penn explains why the overdose of foul language is served up to the viewing masses. It boiled down to the angles of possible legal action by the people they so often go after in their show. I do find it a little over the top, but also really enjoy some of the points the bring up on the show.

I really enjoy the show and I find their perspective refreshing. I'm not one who is bothered by foul language and nudity though!

Completely off topic, but I just looked at the list of emoticons and some of them are quite fantastic!! This one made me laugh the hardest! oop:

I have heard of, but not seen, an episode on swearing, in which they never once cuss. Many of their episodes are great, unless you are from Ohio, cause they really love to find wackjobs from Ohio.

The one on stranger danger was one I really liked, as well as fast food, there are many that I really think everyone should watch. (not counting the prudes that can't stand nudity or swearing)

[Kornkob]

I disagree. I think the 'prudes' should watch the entire series.

Perhaps the exposure would wear off the neo-Victorian perception that such things were 'not done' in the 'good old days'. (When clearly both art and common correspondence show that they, in fact, were 'done' quite often)

[Bugbear]

Oh no... Now I'm going to have to go read up on the Good Old Days...

I, for one, find it very hard to believe Teller uses foul language--does he ever speak?

He probably just flips you the bird.

I have to admit--Penn and Teller are great. Penn has some social commentary that is funny. Yes, he is a proponent of the f-bomb; but, he only drops the bomb for effect. Teller is more of a gesturer--probably the finger--I can see that.

Does anyone know where I can find the third part of the lawn episode? I can only l can only locate the first two parts.

I have been unsuccessful in locating entire episodes. It seems that most, if not all, links lead back to segments released by Showtime. The show on profanity is good, from what I have been able to see. It was a five minute segment.
