I watched it yesterday, it was hilarious, as is the whole show. Its meant for a certain audience as the title of the show should point out.

The show does a great job debunking nutjob 9/11 conspiracy folk, yoga, herbal healing, crystals, bottled water, creationists, PETA, safety nazis, 12 step programs, anti-swearing zealots and the like.

Good for Showtime for airing this show, its on a pay channel, so if subscribers don't like it, they can end the service.

But, the show is brilliant.

I fail to see how Mother Theresa falls into that category.

Yes you're an atheist so Im sure you adore the show and Penn Gillette's foaming hatred of anyone who thinks differently from him.

Several people were directly lied to in the first season about how they would be portrayed on the show. There is no in depth verified analysis of ANY of the topics they cover.

Just merely cursory superficial debunking. (Such as theyre discounting that Second hand smoke could ever cause any health problems whatsoever and Penn directly discrediting the FDA for goodness sake.)

Bullsh@t show has no opposing views, its purely slanted Cr@ppola.
