Magicians Penn and Teller's Showtime series "Bullshit" will leap to the
defense of the adult industry on tomorrow's premiere episode, subtitled "The War
on Porn."

Like all episodes of "Bullshit," this one will feature lighthearted
interviews with various sources interspersed with showman Penn Jillette's
commentary.

Arguing against the industry will be Donna Rice, whose dalliance with then-Sen.
Gary Hart ended his presidential bid in 1984. Since the mid-1990s, Rice has been
an anti-pornography advocate. Representatives from anti-porn ministry
XXXChurch.com and the
conservative Family Research
Council will also condemn adult.

One of the main figures called to defend adult is
Dr. Marty Klein, a
counselor, sex therapist and author.

"There's no peer-reviewed, scientific data that proves that people who look
at porn are more likely to commit violent acts than anyone else," Klein says on
the program. He also cites one of his books,
"America's War On Sex."

Klein told XBIZ that antiporn advocates often rely on flawed methodology when
compiling evidence for their arguments.

"It's an undisputed fact that a certain percentage of people who commit
sexually related crimes have porn on their person or in their homes," he said,
explaining that antiporn advocates make two mistakes when they argue that
watching porn caused these crimes. "One, correlation does not equal causation.
Someone who commits a sex crime may have watched porn that morning, but they may
have also had coffee that morning. They may have watched 'Seinfeld' that
morning. That doesn't mean that those things caused them to commit the crime."

Second, Klein said that while antiporn advocates are quick to point at sex
criminals who have watched porn, they fail to consider the large number of
people who have watched porn with no subsequent bad behavior.

Adult star Brandi Love
will also appear on the show with her husband to refute claims from conservative
quarters.

“This was one of the most entertaining and creative media pieces I have ever
been involved with,” said Love, whose segment was broadcast on the

OneCams.com network.

A preview for the episode of "Bullshit" is available at

Showtime's official website.

"Penn & Teller's Bullshit: The War on Porn" will be broadcast Thursday, June
19 at 10 p.m. on the east and west coasts on Showtime. For more information,
