Penn Jillette is all agitated about free speech. Provocative.
Showbiz is just there to give people something to talk about. Houdini appeared in a press photo with just a few bondage chains hanging over his genitals. People talked about that picture. Some went to see his show because of that picture. Some probably boycotted him forever because of that picture. The government just stayed out and let the hype play itself out. I don’t believe in reincarnation, but if Houdini did come back as a modern African American woman, he’d be sure to have pierced nipples and a wardrobe malfunction on TV.
