On premium cable, "Penn & Teller" (Showtime, 10 p.m.) starts a fourth season by taking on the Boy Scouts of America, charging their anti-gay bias came after the Mormons hijacked the organization in the '70s. Brash humor keeps this lively series from becoming too strident

Sounds like Penn and Teller have a problem with little boys they can't get to as well as with the Mormons.
They should go play with adults who share their proclivities.

Mormons must be a safer target than Scientologists.

Did you see Penn & Teller's show on Gun Control? It was brilliant.

Penn & Teller seem to take on plenty of people on both sides. Their BS episode dealing with environmentalists was pretty funny.

So what? I don't care if their show on gun control was brilliant. I do care when they pick on the Boy Scouts.

I think it is sad that the BSA has been made a political football of the Homosexual lobby and the Feminist lobby.
In addition to the natural role of the father, we need organizations that teach boys how to be men and provide good role models.

I'm still wondering how you can be "less strident" after loudly braying about your anti-religious hatred, your hatred for one of the most child-friendly organizations ever created, and your inability to appreciate diverse lifestyles. Ever notice that those who hate the Boy Scouts want to replace it with... nothing?

Maybe after a few centuries of this they'll work up the courage to make fun of Islam.

They'll never attack Islam. They'll only attack religions they know won't fight back.
The LDS Church and the Boy Scouts are easy targets for these marginally talented goons.

To: Logophile
As a Mormon you know they are pretty close to getting it right.

I was a scout in the 80s and never heard anyone mention anything about Mormonism once.
Then again I grew up in NY where mormonism isn't that popular.
