Too thuggish, venal, lazy and incompetent for the Queensland cops.

I agree. But did you read the comments, too? They started out pretty reasonable, but then they turned a crazy.
Yeah, well ā¦ the comments on Stuff have long made me weep for the future of this country. Iām pretty happy that one of my Firefox plugins prevents them from displaying.
Edit: dear FSM. I just got to the bottom, and some idiot is holding up Wakefield as a positive source of information. How the fuck can it be gotten through to these people that that man is a lying, deceptive shitstain on humanity?!

Iāve noticed that they seem happy to follow reason, objectivity and carefully weighed evidence anywhere it leads until it happens to conflict with their libertarian ideology.

Hey, youāre already halfway there since Teller doesnāt speak. Usually. But as an aside, I once watched Bob Costas interview Teller (nope, no Penn at all) for the Late Late Show (I think). Rather peculiar, that was.
I actually got to chat with Teller after a show once. Penn was on his celphone constantly, couldnāt be bothered, but with barely any prompting, Teller talked my ear off about Houdini, escape routines, and their new book. Until I asked him about the Houdini water escape he mentioned in one of their books as having gone wrong on TV once, and he went quiet, scowled at me, and walked away in a huff.

I saw him talk on stage in front of an audience. It was a showing of F. W. Murnauās Faust but they only had german intertitles so he translated. He came on ātried to talkā and lit some flash paper right under his throat and then proceeded to talk.
As far as Bullshit goes I only saw the first season and found it hit and miss. Good when they are going after actual charlatans but elsewhere kind of meh. They did later on say they regret the second hand smoke show in particular.

This is the bedrock of my problem with Libertarianism: it seems to have been created and promoted by people whoāve never been handed shit by the universe. Lucky them, but thatās not enough on which to base an entire belief system.

There was no need for that ā¦ film long enough and youāll get enough footage.
Itās like those shows that show stupid people unable to answer simple trivia questions āName one person running for president ā¦ ummmmmmm Bill Clinton.ā They just film long enough to get enough footage of what they want to show.

His one line in Penn & Teller Get Killed was VERY effective.
Or they got handed a manageable amount of shit and handled it, and are unwilling to make allowances for anyone else no matter how different their circumstances.
