That is Bullshit!

I'm the first to discuss this, but I do want to raise awareness of this. I watch Penn & Teller: Bullshit!, and they go up against a lot of topics (although still not homeopathy...)

Now, their seasons are ten episodes each. The DVDs come out, the first one with some great extra features, but since then the rest have been pretty much vanilla, with some episodes of another series thrown in (Dexter is similar). Showtime have obviously decided that no-one really wants the DVDs...

But they they go one step further. Season Seven, when screened, was ten episodes long. However, the Season 7 DVD... I was extremely surprised to find out that it was only nine episodes long. Hang on... what?

Even the Showtime list of episodes only has nine episodes... that tenth one must really be a dozy, perhaps Scientology? Perhaps about something proved wrong? Perhaps...

The Vatican.

Yep, somehow, probably by lawsuits backed up by lots and lots of money (I'm guessing here), the Vatican have come down on Showtime, CBS and Penn and Teller to remove this episode from existence.


F- you Vatican for doing this. And f- you Showtime et al for giving in...

Go watch this episode now... before the internet gets completely scrubbed...
