any one watch Penn & Teller BS on video games last night?

Last night on Penn & Teller Bullshit it was all about the video games, they asked the age old question, do violent video games make violent people? I thought the last 5 mins of the show was great and really drove the point home that violent video games DO NOT make violent people, particularity children. 

It's up on youtube... well I found part 1 and 2 of the video on it. Pretty cool, hopefully I can catch the rest of it.

"Video games without big fucking guns are BULLSHIT!"
"Jack Thompson is a fucking asshole"
"Laws don't mean jack shit to nature, and shit Jack shouldn't expect to change human nature with a dumbass fucking law.... Jack stop feeding the motherfucking fish."

LOL...man there are some great quotes in here.

I can't belive they got Jack Thompson on this show. It's a pretty good episode of Bulshit

Yeah, I enjoyed it. The ending was surprisingly emotional, as Penn voiced his concerns seriousness having the 9-year old kid on the show. I'm not going to give the ending away though.

hahaha, its so true, we need more guns!

Since when are penn and teller taking on world issues?

And can teller (or is it penn) talk?

I dont get it.

" I dont get it. "

Oh man I fucking LOVE that hardcore dude near the middle of part 1! Holy shit! THAT is the kind of guy I'd want to game with. Shit would get SO intense.

"Killin zombies and shit. I love that stuff."

Fuck!

Gonna watch ıt now, thanks for the remınder

Just watched it on youtube. It was great. You're right, the end of the show really hammered home that video games don't make kids violent.

Man, what a pussy that kid was. I was about his age when the Cub Scouts brought us all out to fire rifles at the firing range.  I hit the target & enjoyed it thoroughly.

I think that kid cried because everyone put pressure on him & were frowning the whole time. He didn't know how to handle it, so he cried!

It doesn't mean that in a few years he doesn't turn out to be a raging psychopath. It could still happen, but not due to video games. It's all mental & shit.

Third part.

I think he was crying because the butt of the gun hit him in the jaw. The guy didn't have him properly set the butt into his shoulder. "

Woot Pen and Teller Bullshit! I love Pen and Teller and I love this show. There's some truly golden material in it such as the boyscout episode and the abstinence episode.

That was good.

agreed. but at least he won't ever want to fire another gun ever again. "

Are you fucking kidding me?   Are you hoping he'll turn out gay or docile in an all-guns/all-the-time society?   Where was his Father?  The guy needs to learn how to shoot guns again just to redeem himself from being the big baby that he is.That rifle butt didn't hit him that hard. Why the fuck didn't he fire it a couple more times?  He cried due to the pressure of having a camera in his face & probably people talking about child killers & the Columbine massacre.  Maybe his Mom threatened to slap him if he said he enjoyed firing it? "

Maybe you have no idea what the fuck you're talking about, and he really didn't enjoy it? "

Who are you to judge this kid? So what if he doesn't want to take part in things like going to firing ranges and shooting targets? He doesn't have to redeem himself. That kid is just as good a person if he doesn't like firearms than if he does. Maybe when he's older he will go out and try firing a gun like that again.

His father was probably at work or maybe he doesn't have a father. Either way, it doesn't matter. "

You weren't judging the show. You were judging a child to be a coward without good reason.

Firstly, fuck your post.

Second. He's a kid, someone who has probably never seen a gun let alone fired a gun before in his life. He was given no training, no warning of recoil (Or knowledge of what the recoil is), no understanding of how to react. Oh, and did I mention he was only 9? When you don't expect something coming, then you will be shocked when it happens. The fact that this has to do with guns doesn't help, so obviously you have no god damn idea of what you are talking about.

Plus the "where was his father" thing just reminded me of this bullshit notion that a father always knows best, and all know about how to deal with guns and whatnot. It's just stupid, I'm sure Harrison's entire family signed the release and knew what they were getting into.

"

you guys are making a big deal out of nothing. HE'S 9!  He clearly got hit in the face cause he didn't think it was gonna kick that much, and guess what, getting hit in the face hurts like a bitch. Plus who gives a shit if he doesn't have a dad.

Guys, don't feed the troll.

great episode. i loved when they bashed people like hillary, i cant believe she almost became president. i cant believe she is even in the administration.

since the youtube vids are gone, I found this link so you can watch it there.

Ha, so I watched the whole show. Even though their experiments are bullshit themselves, they made some good points, and I always like seeing Jack Thompson make a fool out of himself.

These guys are two of the best performers out there; I saw their show in Vegas a few months ago, and its like condensed Bullshit, mostly focused on jackass magicians who claims their tricks are real, with sweet tricks in between.....

Somebody asked about Teller talking-he does talk, just not when visible in the show.  Afterwards, you can go shake his hand, and he'll talk to you....

P&T, great as always
