I’m not a huge fan of Penn & Teller’s program BULLSHIT!–Penn Jillette’s rhetorical style is often senselessly inflammatory, and his gloss of Social Security in this particular episode is simplified to the point of complete distortion–but theatrical yelling aside, this is both a heartbreaking and informative snapshot of “multi-level marketing.” It’s shocking how many hours well-meaning people fruitlessly sink into these hopeless mutli-level sales schemes; the folk taking advantage of their earnestness and dedication is absolutely contemptible.
