THURSDAY

10-10:30 PM
Bullsh!t (SHOWTIME, TV-MA). Alternative Medicine and Antivaccination Quacks. Penn & Teller, in their usual hilarious and foul-mouthed style, trash chiropractic medicine, find heavy metal contamination of Ayurvedic medicines (with the help of Skeptico, who also gleefully takes on alternative medicine in general), Organon (with the help of Quackblog). Finally, they take on an antivaccination nurse (and here)with the help of Peter Bowditch and Dr. Henochowicz, who utterly demolish the myths of the antivaccination movement. To put it all together, Anne tells the boys the signs you're dealing with health fraud.
