Penn & Teller: Bullshit! War on Porn

Overview
Penn & Teller: Bullshit! was hosted by professional magicians/comedians Penn & Teller. Its format consisted of debating political topics often from a naturalist libertarian capitalist point of view (the political philosophy espoused by both Penn and Teller) or aimed to debunk pseudoscientific ideas, paranormal beliefs, as well as popular fads and misconceptions. The show criticized proponents of what they perceived as nonsense and dishonesty, often citing ulterior political or financial motives. The stated aim of the show was to apply "critical thinking" to misconceptions and other "bullshit". As indicated by the show's title, the program adhered to Penn & Teller's characteristically blunt, aggressive presentation. The show was nominated for 11 Emmy Awards.

She doesn't have any studies? So Gail [Dines] is just making shit up."

Self-Deprecation:
In the War On Porn Episode, "Our argument is bullshit too. Correlation is not causation. It could easily be just a coincidence. So in the absence of evidence, who are you going to go with? The killjoys, or us? We have pictures of people fucking, and they don't!"
