Similarly, "The Man Show" once had a had a segment where they went out into the streets, asking people to sign a petition to end womens suffrage. Many people ponied up a signature, not realizing this (fake) petition was asking for female voting rights to be taken away. |

...or how about the report on the Dangers of Dihydrogen Monoxide? Remember that? The insidious chemical that is in industrial solvents and coolants and even in nuclear power plants YET is legal to dump into rivers and lakes!
This explains how gullible we can be. :)

That was on Penn & Teller's Bullshit. They went to some environmental rally in DC and had all these people there signing a petition banning Di hydrogen Monoxide. Quite comical and quite stunning how gullible people are and how many are just followers. |
