I like the episode they did on recycling. I've tried to tell some of my friends about it but they usually stop me right after I explain that Penn and Teller say that recycling is bullshit. Once they hear that then they pretty much assume that Bullshit is nothing but bullshit.
Yeah, it's bloody amazing how touchy people get when you step on these "sacred cows". People WANT to believe so bad that everything is going to be OK, that when you show them a fact like, 80% of all recycling programs across the country are cheated on, they just squeeze their eyes shut, stick their fingers in their ears and sing, "LALALALALA, I can't hear you...!"
I mean, what do they think? The mob that controls sanitation is going to go out of their way to take your bottles to a recycling plant? If they can take a short cut they will, that's what organized crime does! Just deal with it. Either work to change it, or accept it.
As a disclaimer: I am certainly not saying that ALL sanitation in this country is controlled by the mob, (I personally don't think organized crime is always a bad thing, but that's another thread...) but you have to admit, a good deal of it is, in some way, influenced by The Organization. Maybe not in Utah...
