In defence of Sweatshops

OK... I am a pretty big Penn and Teller fan. The Bullshit series is like nothing I have seen on Television. These guys said things about the bible that blew my mind! Never has anything like it been on Television...without featuring a scientist.

My old archive has no less then 20 videos, I can't guarantee they will all work, but that should be enough evidence to prove I am a true Penn and Teller fan.

The most recent episode was about Wal-Mart haters being, Bullshit. It was quite an interesting point of view. Since I am, a Wal Mart hater, it was awkward to watch. I have been a Wal Mart hater my whole life, or at least since I first heard of this retail cancer. I have at least a half dozen hating clips Archived to back up that claim. After watching this Bullshit episode about Wal Mart not being evil I am proud to say my feelings have not changed. I have always understood that Penn and Teller have a presentation style that can argue any topic and can make you feel the Bullshit.

It was that Bullshit training that prepared for this clip. This below is Bullshit presented by Penn and Teller.

Sorry. No Wal Mart PR Douchebag will change my feelings on Sweatshops, especially after watching this cookie clip. These third world people deserve instant improvements if we(st) can afford it, why are we not offering it. For the record I applaud P&T for offering this point of view. I think their short bit at the end of the clip was a way to subtly tell us that they do realize what they just present was Bullshit.

Robert Greenwald was presented in this episode as a bad guy, but he really does some great documentary work. You can watch the Full Wal Mart documentary right here. Here is a clip from it. Just one of the fine works of douchebaggary that you will witness in the documentary.
