We can prove through remarkably bad math...
The topic? "The Traditional Family" - apparently something invented in the 50's by Hollywood to sell tv shows like "Ozzy and Harriet" (Sounds like a heavy metal band)
And the who and where - That would be Penn Jillette on the Penn and Teller show "Bullshit" on Showtime... talking about certain people using bad statistics and studies to prove a point...
The right-wing types: "This study says... blah, blah, blah. And no one has done a good study on that...."
The people who have done actual studies on this topic say "Sorry, you are wrong. We've been studying these things for 10-20 years."
Can we just guess how Pen and Teller approached the topic? They don't like people who make things up, especially when a little honest research will prove it.
Need I say more? Okay... it was funny if a little cruel towards the people they don't agree with. Too bad the people who could benefit the most from this kind of show are the people most likely to NOT watch it...
Not trying to be too vague. Just don't want to get into a discussion about this topic here...
