Penn and Teller BS

post #1 of 13
Thread Starter 
Just came across the Penn and Teller Circ episode, has anyone else seen it?

I have started showing it to friends who are thinking of getting pregnant or are pregnant. It does a good job of getting the point across.

I think it's wonderful and very effective for the 18 - 25 yr old male demographic.

I'd like to see it, but can't find it on youtube or Showtime's website. Anybody have a copy they would be willing to share? I'll pay postage both ways.

What I did was get the 2 week trial of Netfix, put it as my first rental, got it 2 or 3 days later, watched it, sent it right back, canceled Netfix

My brother saw this a few years ago (I think he was 20 at the time) It really changed him. He himself is cut but any future male babies he has will not be. He even thought of restoration.

I had hubby sit down and watch it last night. Although he enjoyed it, he is still dead on doing it.

Just don't sign the papers at the hospital. What's your husband gonna do, do it himself??
This IMO, is one of those things where you are either gonna f-k up your son's junk, or piss off your DH. I would rather piss off the husband than surgerize my kid.

just my $.02

Which season was it in? I have Netflix, and maybe I could get DH to watch it with me...'in case we have a boy' but really just because I want him to be more educated on the subject.

That was a great video. As my 13 year old sons says "step away from my penis. It is MINE I get to choose what to do with it".

Thanks for the link Freud!! That's exactly what I came to this forum hoping to find. It was a good episode for anyone that doesn't know about circumcision. Hopefully it made many people question its ever done.

Yep, it's why DH didn't want DS circ'd (well, that and the circ equipment we were shown at the hospital baby care class). DH is circ'd so I thought I had some convincing to do when we found out we were having a boy. Thankfully that episode had made an impression on him.

But our friends who had seen the same ep had their son circ'd anyway.
