Oh yeah...

Folks will be talking about the show today... Let's be careful out there, and _reinforce_ what those fellows said.

EVERY show like that which airs is a great help. They use logic, and humor, and it works.
 
We have very few friends in Hollywood willing to speak out on our behalf. Unfortunately, Hollywood has the power to change minds in this country, so we should be thankful for every ally we have out there.

So, what's on the Showtime site that's some sort of national secret, and must therefore not be accessed by dirty furriners???

I've been there, and trust me, you're not missing anything important. ;)

Oh, and they've got a message board too... And some folks are just reeling...

I'd particularly like to have a read of this stuff.

Ah well, unless someone can tell me how to get around their 'no foreigners' policy, I guess I'll have to do without :rolleyes:

Perhaps some kind person might re-post the juicier bits here???

For those of you who haven't seen it, don't have Showtime, live overseas, or just would like a handy AVI of the show on your computer, check out the links Harry posted. I don't currently subscribe, but grabbed a copy from mininova.org and thoroughly enjoyed it. As said by others, they made some good points, and ripped the 'other' side a new one. :D I've been a fan of P&T in the past, and this makes me an even bigger one.

edit: for those of you non-geeks who don't know what a bittorrent is, or how to use it, information can be found at http://www.bittorrent.com/ . It's basically another way to distribute files on the internet.
 
I got to watch it last night, wonderful stuff!!!

If anyone's interested, episodes can also be downloaded from alt.binaries.multimedia and alt.binaries.tv

Oh, and I finally got to see one of my guns on an American TV show!!!
It's only taken about 40 years :D

In the Baltimore gun store, we see a Walther G22-

Of course, mine is in Eeeeeeevil Black, not Long Haired Tree Hugging Hippy Green like this one :D :D :D

As for a lot of the other interesting ironmongery in the background, I can only dream :(
Although, things are looking a bit more hopeful lately, time will tell.

AVI file from the download link

When you download this and try to play it on windows media player you will most likely get an error and only sound. If you google "xvid binaries" you will be able to install a codec that will allow you to play the video.

While you're googling codecs, download the realplayer and quicktime alternative codecs. They allow you to play real and quicktime files through windows media player. It is in my opinion that Real and Quicktime are evil and take over like spyware. The new WMP is evil too. I use the original WMP v6.4 that came with W2K with updated codecs. Uses less resources, doesn't have 30 different blinking tabs and buttons either.

Hopefully those here unfamiliar with P&T will start catching their other shows. They're highly entertaining :D
 
Great show

If anyone is having a hard time downloading it please shoot me an email and I will be happy to work out sending you a cd in the mail. It was a great show with plenty of high points.
 
That P&T episode was great! I can't wait for the Season 3 to get finished so the DVD will come out.

I know exactly what you mean. I actually installed WMP 9 once and immediately removed it and went searching for something better. This is what I found: Media Player Classic. Simplicity at it's best and with the right codec pack it'll play anything and everything!
 
Sweet, that lady has a 9mm Hi-Point Carbine in the vault. :D Looks better than mine though. :rolleyes: I am going to try and recompress it for people who arn't as computer literate for BitTorrent or have a crappy computer. (Been there done that) I will post a link as soon as I get it to a small enough size. Quality will suffer, though it is better than nothing. 233 MB is a big download for some people.

/I vote we shove that smug a :cuss: hole to Zimbabwe for a month or so. See what he has to say when he gets back.
 
I recompressed the video. Quality is OK, It's not as nice as the original obviously since I tried to get it under 50MB. Download it if you can't get it elsewhere.

Edit:

P&T - BullS*it Link actualy works now. :)

Link Fixed, sorry. I posted this while the video was still uploading and didn't get a chance to actualy test it before I left for work. :eek: My ISP gives me five 50MB accounts, but no limit on upload. :D

I thought this was one of their weaker episodes. I thought the whole reenactor thing was terribly cheesy, it would have been ok if they were using actual quotes.

I also thought the segment with Maeble (sp?) was cheesy.
 
Hey, Crosshair, rename that file. The four-letter-word is getting replaced with ???? by the Art's Grammaw filter, so the download ain't working.

[He fixed it]

A friend e-mailed from Las Vegas today. He attended the live Penn & Teller show. His report:
Live, here in Vegas. They did a bit on the Bill of Rights and the flag that will bring a tear to your eye. They coupled comedy with sad truth when they produced a copy of the Chinese bill of rights...a clear sheet of plastic... "Nothing makes you appreciate being an American more than an overseas trip." They did a short bit with guns, and touted the second amendment along with the first. I could see liberals squirming.

They were also gracious hosts afterward and happy to do the chat/photo/autograph thing.
