YouTube - Penn & Teller Burn a Flag in the White House

That is so awesome. I just wish it were real and not a TV show. However even though it is fake it still makes its point oh so well.

I remember that episode - it was a great one.

On a sidenote - ever watched Penn and Teller Bullshit on HBO? Awesome TV show, sometimes I want to buy HBO just for it :\

Don't recall - was a few years ago. If I remember right though.. there wasnt much about it after that. There were some other larger plot lines that got more of the show.

Here's an interesting note from Wiki:
In one of their most thoughtful and politically charged tricks, they make a U.S. flag seem to disappear by wrapping it in a copy of the United States Bill of Rights, and apparently setting the flag on fire, so that "the flag is gone but the Bill of Rights remains." The act may also feature the "Chinese bill of rights", presented as translucent. They normally end the routine by restoring the unscathed flag to its starting place on the flagpole; however, on a TV guest appearance on The West Wing this final part was omitted for dramatic reasons.
