Penn Jillette, part deux

my previous post about Penn (see "This i believe" down below) sparked quite a debate between one of my closest friends, my wife and myself. we engaged in a lengthy email discussion about whether Penn is smart, egotistical, or possibly both.

well, for father's day, my wife got me season one of BullSh*t . i watched two episodes last night, and i stand by my statement. Penn is a smart man (as is his silent partner Teller).

this is a series where P&T take on some of the biggest cons of our time. in episode 1, they talk about psychics who claim they can can speak to the dead. Penn makes some scathing remarks about these M-Fs (his term), who are basically corrupting peoples memories of their loved ones, simply to make a buck.

i HIGHLY reccomend the series, even after watching only 2 episodes.
