Why Penn and Teller won't cover Islam or Scientology on their TV show

In this excerpt from a Las Vegas Weekly interview, Penn Jillette explains why he won't cover Islam or Scientology on his TV show, Bullshit!

Let’s talk about your TV show Bullshit! Will you ever run out of theories to debunk and people to expose? If you build a kingdom on bullshit, you're not in danger of running out of it. Our producer says that Teller and I can take any subject in the news and do a credible show on it. Sure, we like to have a villain, something to call "bullshit" on, but if we don't, we can depart from that model.
Are there any groups you won't go after? We haven't tackled Scientology because Showtime doesn't want us to. Maybe they have deals with individual Scientologists —- I'm not sure. And we haven't tackled Islam because we have families.

HAHA, Showtime just seems right for Scientology, or maybe the other way around? Fuck it, both are meant to be together.

Penn and Teller are assclowns who need more time with the 9-11 inside job thing. Slow learners.

My guess is that it's purely showtime stopping them from doing one of those themes, exactly as he stated. I mean, he has no reason to bullshit you right?

That being said, looking forward to more of season 8 :)

War Penn + Teller!

Like they said: they are afraid to hit groups that will hit back.

In others, cowards.
