I wonder if the people on his show, like Clark Bartram, know that they are going to rip him a new asshole....or, if they think that they are being on the show to give an expert opinion that Penn and Teller are going to take seriously?

Haha...they asked Clark if supplements are worth it and he say's no....
later on they show him pushing his own supps..
"When you buy this shit you are sending money to the same Jock Head Fucks who made you feel like shit in High School. Don't let them fuck you over again."

I don't know what the think of these guys(Penn and Teller). The think they can say shit in a clever convincing way and people will just take it as the truth? They say if you are fat and that is it and you can't do anything about it? Wtf? So Americans genetics have been changing to make people more fat hmm...it doesn't have to do with habitual dietery changes...ghey. They do some shit that makes sense but they suck at looking at each side of each aspect they are ripping. Still pretty misinformed IMO.

I thought they did a great job of dispelling all the myths of those infomercials and exposing dip shits like Clark Bar(tram).
They had the exercise physiologist there telling the truth about exercise and then they finished the show by saying "exercise is good. it can make you look better and feel better. Just maybe not as fast as you like. But you don't need all this shit to do that. Just eat less and be more active."
these guys are fucking hilarious, I hope all the people that order that bullshit see this show, and those fucking people that sell that bullshit should be shot.

Yes, I agree on the infomercials. They did a better job explaining things in the second half of the video. However, I still think the first half is a bit misleading.
lawl, on another note, did you notice at one point in the video the taller guy talking in the video kept putting his hands in and out of his pocket constantly, it was really wierd. He just went back and forth and he could not stop moving his arm.

I dont think Ive seen this episode, but Ive watched others and I can agree that they are dominantly one-sided. Its for entertainment though.
However, misleading is the perfect word. A person who watched this episode who knows nothing about nutrition, exercise, supplementation would walk away from the show thinking that all 3 of those are a waste of time, not remembering or even noticing what they did in fact say (as P quoted).
A good example would be a commercial about a product with the tiny sentences on the bottom of the screen while it airs. If you pay attention you can get all the info, but some people are just watching TV for visual stimulation.
The liars are just business men...they couldn't care less about helping those people.
I couldn't agree more. I was in a local popular suppliment store the other day when a newbie knucklehead says "I was told to get this and that, take this much..." the sales person clearly knew he was buying way too much, expecting way too much but said nothing. Cha-ching went the cash register. I felt like I should say something but with knucklheads being knuckleheads he wouldn't have listened anyway.

Reason: To say thanks for the link!!!
I think they kind of discounted the ability of exercise to make dramatic changes in your body. I have a feeling this will do a lot of harm in terms of turning some people off and making them think, "Well, I'm an endomorph, and I'll always be a fatass." I know they put a couple of disclaimers throughout saying that exercise was good, but the overall message would be largely negative when viewed by your average person. They aren't going to read between the lines in a lot of cases and realize what they are trying to say is that there is no easy way out. You have to diet and exercise in a smart and consistent manner.
By the same token, I was glad to hear them say on television that spot reduction is a physiological impossibility. YES YES YES. Take that to heart people!
Oh, and the guy who invented the Ab-doer is a fucking schmuk. Can he hear himself? He sounds like a fucking exercise equipment selling robot.
The only time it's bad to feel the burn is when you're peeing...

Agreed. On other terms, the show is itself is pretty damn good.
