More BS BS

I mentioned that show that Penn & Teller have a week or so ago. Today I found out just a bit more about it. The person in it still hasn't actually seen the episode, so there is no direct commentary on that. There is something mighty interesting about the release he signed, however. His words (emphasis mine):

The program started several years ago as a semi humorous debunking action, but I have only seen one of them. Last Fall, a crew was taping at the Carolina Ren Faire, and I happened to be one of the interviewees. Well, I should have known: The release form stated up front that they might edit, dub, or even fictionalize my appearance (and all the others, of course). But, I got assurances from the crew that, since Penn & Teller had got their start at a faire (actually the Minnesota faire), they wouldn't shaft us. I have received notes from several people who saw the program who state I was heavily edited, and essentially used to make us look bad. Since I haven't seen the program yet, no further comments, but it is clear that I was used, in some manner.

At least they were honest about their dishonesty, huh?
