Penn, Teller, and the art of the breast
That’s right, boobies. Ta-tas. Knockers. Bazoombas. Call them what you want, there’s no denying America’s obsession with the things. And Penn and Teller tackle exactly this subject in a way only they can … lots of naked breasts all over the screen.
But once they get past the gratuitous shots of titties, they get down to some pretty serious business, suprisingly. From discussions of La Leche Leauge to breast cancer, from porn stars to “top freedom” movements, this episode actually comes to some pretty decent conclusions.
Like, they tackle the states that have made it illegal for women to breastfeed in public, championing La Leche League and their efforts to gain acceptance for breastfeeding mothers across the country. And they get into some serious debate over the “breast cancer awareness” push that does not have one unified, nation-wide source and may end up not doing as much good as we’d like to think.
And then there’s “top freedom”.
All in all, I was suprised at the content of the episode. Despite the classic Penn obsession with the boobies, the two actually had a lot of good to say on the subject. If you haven’t already, watch it.
