BullShit on Video Games (good stuff)
Ocified-Xboxer | 4:02 PM on 07.14.2009 10 comments


I like the show "Penn & Tellers BULLSHIT"...The comedian/magician duo debunk, dispell and fuck with everything ranging from astrology to enviromentalism and now to video game violence.

With a cameo by our old friend Jack Thompson Penn & Teller take on the notion that violence in video games causes kids to become killing machines....Since uploading the episode would infringe on copyright, I will say if you have Showtime check it out...Or you could do a little interweb Matlockery and look for something like (Penn & Teller Bullshit s07e03) on the website of your choosing.

I'm interested to hear what your thoughts are on how they confront this modern day evil...

Dont hide it. For spite.

I agree with Ghets.

I wish I could comment but I have not watched the show even though its sitting on my hard drive.
covah's Destructoid Blog
the last minute of it was just like a big "ORLY!?" to good ol' jack.
ScottyG's Destructoid Blog
I actually liked the show and what they did, although I really don't like their presentation. They're blatently screaming obsceneties for the shock value, and it gets old pretty quick.
zgerhard's Destructoid Blog
i can't find it to watch anywhere
Namakubi's Destructoid Blog
Good episode. The fat gun-nut who wants to do something about violent video games so they won't be a scapegoat for gun control was a pretty bizarre dude.
Char Aznable's Destructoid Blog
After they showed the kid crying at the end after shooting the gun, I was taken aback for a moment. Mission accomplished.

@ Char Aznable - Most def...

@ ZGERHARD - Maybe if you googled (Penn & Teller Bullshit s07e03) followed by a word that rhymes with storrent and hit enter, you may or may not find said episode. *wink*
