Penn & Teller response to Chris Angel

[gravitas]

Criss Angel of all people...he's an oxycontin loving, sewer rat

Ava's quote reminded me of a good P&T clip

Penn & Teller are talented, thought provoking and multifaceted performers.....Chris Angel on the other hand is a hack who just happens to be doctoring up a bunch of old tricks

That was great, Penn and Teller are the shit!

I watched the first couple of Criss Angel shows and that was enough for me, he is way too over produced and glammed up vegas style.
The other thing that rotted my socks about his show was all the bullshit melodrama.
The camera supposedly catches his brother in another area fretting and wringing his hands worrying himself sick about Criss's safety performing the next death defying stunt, then cut to his mother doing the same thing, then cut to his manager telling us AGAIN how dangerous this stunt is and how easily Criss could die if everything doesnt come together just right, back to his brother "more hand wringing and fretting" ,,,, rinse repeat!

Just do the fucking stunt already and quit insulting my intelligence with over the top hype and pontificating.
