Canadian TV Show Destroys a Snake Oil Salesman

randomize says...

>> ^Throbbin:
These guys are screened before they ever get on the show, so someone at CBC thought it would be a hoot to get him on the air. While I don't mind the dressing down they gave him, I think it's sad that even CBC - the holy grail of quality public broadcasting IMHO - would think to let this guy on the air, presumably for ratings.


Well, being a CBC show, it likely needs all the ratings it can get.

Well whats more bull shit is that they only give a dam when he says it cures cancer , because everyone gose mental over cancer up untill cancer its all la-di-da.
also he is only as much bull shit as religions but i bet they dont give a shit if a chirch person came in trying to sell some rleigouse thing or raising money for a lochal chirch that would be ok.


They weren't going to back the product beforehand, you can see that all of them are giggling at how stupid the product is.

Claims such as "Pain from cuts goes away in less then a minute!" is stupid, because they usually do anyway.
He really is just selling water, and for minor things like that, it's no harm no foul, you spend 20 bucks, it's not a life altering situation. Refuse him nicely and leave him on his way.

However, once he started making claims like it was able to cure more terminal things like cancer, and he's been SELLING it as a remedy for cancer, then shit gets serious.

If people truly buy his product thinking that spraying it down your throat a couple times daily is going to cure their cancer, and do that rather then get a real form of treatment, then that man is selling people their death.

Mythbusters: Catastrophic decompression of a diving suit

westy says...

I dont mind when they are genuine , but you can tell most the time they are not , thay have to do things speificly for the sake of the camaras and are encoraged to over act , ethor that or they are like anoying school kids.

the reason Jami and adam are good is because you can tell that they are genuine and you can tell they rnt stupid , you can tell that they don't take the rehused segments to seriously.

but aside from all that the editing is appalling , ITS shitty American TV editing where you probably have 15 minutes of content then it repeats itself over and over and over , to make that 45 minutes.

for example , you have an intro exsplaining stuff , then you have a repeat of part of that intro intraducing the segment you are curently on , then you have that segment you are on for about 5 minutes , then it gose to repeating intro for another segment , then you have that segments content for a bit , then it gose back to intradusing and repeating where they were on another thing , every time it jumps from one thing to another they reiterate it over and over . most so that after 15 minute add brake people know whats going on.

they need to do a pure versoin of the show , one experiment at a time , no repeating of the same footage . and put it on a dvd , Until the editing is fixed I find it to annoying to watch. Its the visual equivelent of a constant High pitch HISS that sumone decided to add in.

Jimmy Carr - Gay Owls

sme4r says...

I fucking hate Jimmy Carr. Am I alone here? Ever since that shitty show he had on American TV that I can't remember the name of cause it sucked ass. It seems people have an odd fascination with him on the sift, and every time bother to watch one of his clips on here I think, "This is the one, this is the clip that will change my entire outlook on this fucking moron." But it never does... It never even comes close. There are such better examples of British comedians. Eddy Izzard, Ricky Gervais (Who was already mentioned in an earlier comment, and who I feel Carr tries to imitate.) The entire cast of Monty Python. COME ON PEOPLE, this is crap. Look at the pity laughs the audience gives. Terrible. I'm on a mission to downvote every one of the videos he's in that I come across. That's the idea right?

Iraq. Enough is enough.

American Ace Takes on Half the Luftwaffe

dannym3141 says...

I used to watch shows when i was in america and one thing that drove me to absolute fucking despair was the frequency of the adverts. It felt like every 2 minutes there were adverts and then a recap to sit through which lasted 30 seconds so you only ended up with 90 seconds of content in every 8 minutes. Used to make me rage

Now, i watch shows that were originally on american tv shown on sky tv or such, and every few mins we get a fleeting black screen followed by a recap, cos we don't have the frequency of adverts

Canadian Health Care System

Geo321:

I can't speak for other Provinces but in British Columbia the number of Doctors trained annually has tripled over the last 6 years, I understand this sort of effort is happening elsewhere in Canada too.

As for the crazy woman who went on American TV to dis the Canadian system, she didn't have a "tumor" at least not in the common sense, she had a liquid build-up NOT cancer, various doctors who are highly educated on the subject have said that if she'd waited for her Canadian surgery rather than going to the states the only side-effects she'd have encountered during that time could be some visual problems which would have cleared up after the surgery and even that was unlikely... If left for years and years, yes it would have eventually killed her but it was not anywhere near as serious as she makes it out to be.
