Gold Bars Through Airport

without sleep. A couple of news blogs were around last week were skeptical at first instance, a program of English skepticism and a little bit of skepticism on Mexican television.

Program "Skeptics"

Luis Alfonso Gámez, author of the blog Magonia , English television enters the program Skeptics and the first issue is: We went to the moon?

A good topic to start, because, in culture, is tucked doubt that if we went or not. I once had a talk with someone about the subject matter, he thought that we had not gone, I argued yes. When I questioned why he believed such a thing, he said he had seen a "special program about it." Obviously I asked if he had given the task of investigating the counter, I said no. It has happened with several people, do not know why the effort to deny the trip, and do not know why the efforts of television documentaries on spending to sow doubt. That's why the program skeptical, "We went to the moon?, I think an excellent place to start. And, according to the twitter of Luis Alfonso (@ lagamez), the television channel ETB and wants 12 more chapters. Congratulations.

With the advantages of technology, here we see the first program of skeptics, which encanta'o me.

A skeptic dad fraud gang Power Balance

In Australia, the sellers of fraudulent bracelet, known as Power Balance , drove them say that your product does what they say they do and sent a statement in which, with the tail between the legs, acknowledge that:

CORRECTIVE NOTICE

Power Balance Bracelets

"In our advertising we ensured that the bracelets Power Balance improved strength, balance and flexibility . We admit that there is no scientific evidence credible to substantiate our claims ".

" If you feel cheated by our promotions, we ask our sincere apologies and offer you the possibility of recovering money "

Translation: We are sorry, try to see his stupid face.

So, apart from recognizing that their product is crap (a plastic strip and a hologram ), they had to reward people who felt deceived. A good lesson.

The bracelets are sold in our country, as you can imagine. That's why I liked the participation of Daniel Zepeda, blog A skeptic dad in a TV Azteca. I was surprised that a space devoted to skepticism, and I share the program, though very short, as already lost. And I liked the announcer has said "the swindle of the Power Balance," calling it like it is a real scam.

As we saw, yes you can learn on TV, not just the knowledge we can make reading a lot, and hopefully more news to come of this.
