Analyzing bullshit

After watching this video about recycling it made me wonder whether or not I was wasting my time. Penn and Teller were both hilarious. They went to a few peoples houses to test their "loyalty" to recycling. The two men took out around ten different colored trashcans for all different kinds of waste. The people listened to Penn and Teller even though using the various cans would take a lot longer. I thought there argument on how recycling was useless and its just for people in the industry to make more money was semi convincing. The fact that they were very humorous made me question there credibility. Penn and Teller used Pathos when they showed the mom with kids who is very loyal to recycling. When they ask her if she found out nothing was benefiting from it she said that she would be very disappointed. This made you feel kind of bad for this lady who was dedicated to helping the environment and recycling. The two men also used logos when they interviewed various workers in the industry to get their input. Interviewing could be a very effective strategy in my next paper as well.
