Penn & Teller: Bullshit!

Is Acupuncture Bullshit?
My girlfriend makes regular acupuncture appointments. She says it helps her relax and she feels better after an appointment but I keep telling her she's throwing away a lot of money on something thats calls itself a medical practice and it's bullshit. Her Acupuncturist also gives her diet and nu...trition advice but she is neither a dietitian or a nutritionist, and then she claims that her acupuncturist can tell foods she's eating by looking at the color of her tongue. WTF! This stuff has to be total Bullshit! Please Help.Więcej...

I love your show! I think debunking foreign aid would be a great topic
for a show. There's been some books recently showing that foreign aid
can actually be WORSE than no aid at all. Here's a blurb about the
book "Dead Aid : Why Aid Is Not Working and How There is a Better Way
For Africa" (Dambisa Moyo):

****************...************************************

****************************************************

Economist Moyo makes a startling assertion:
charitable aid to African nations is not just ineffective—it is worse
than no aid. Moyo, who was born and raised in Zambia, joins a
small but growing number of observers (including microfinance expert
Muhammad Yunnus) who argue that charity from Western nations cripples
African governments by fostering dependency and corruption without
requiring positive change.
