The Ten Most Wanted : Celebrities Who Promote Harmful Pseudoscience http://skeptoid.com/ Skeptoid is a weekly podcast dedicated to furthering knowledge by blasting away the widespread pseudosciences that infect popular culture.
Each weekly episode focuses on a single phenomenon — an urban legend, a paranormal claim, alternative therapy, or something just plain stupid — that you've heard of, and that you probably believe in. Skeptoid attempts to expose the folly of belief in non-evidence based phenomena, and more importantly, explains the factual scientific reality.
From the sublime to the startling, no topic is sacred, politically incorrect though that may be.

Only problem with his opinion about Autism is According to a new study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the incidence of an autism spectrum disorders diagnosis is 10 times more likely than it was 10 years ago. Now either Autism has been redefined within that period or something is contributing to the skyrocketing increase in Autism cases. Genetics alone cannot accomodate the surge as the instances of solely-based genetic diseases gradually rise over longer periods of time.
I have a love-hate relationship with Bill Maher. I love the fact that he's fighting the good fight against religion but hate the fact that he's a vegan pussy.
@MasterAdam100 I eat meat. But to hate someone based on what they shove down their throats is retarded. I just know that vegans aren't really any better then anyone else, even though alot of them tend to think so, in my experience :P
Great list, and I did like the Prince Charles segment, though calling him the 'most powerful man in England' is a bit of a stretch. You did miss off the most harmful bit of pseudoscience doing the rounds at the moment...I speak of global warming 'scepticism'. I'd have put Ian Plimer in the top 3.
I am realy stuck with a lot of psychological treatment that is out there. Be careful next time you go to psychotherapy because you feel a little depress. You might go in for a tune up and the psychotherapiest want you to get an overwhole you do not need.
holy fuck i need to stop posting before i finish the video, ur veiws on health and medicine are so fucked. Here's the problem with "evidence" based medicine or at least your blind faith in it. One days evidence is the next days history, there is no such thing as an incurable disease. just think about the world before penicillin lots of people died from now curable illnesses. Calling autism incurrable is like giving up hope, someday we will find cures for many of today's "incurable" diseases.

I've only ever met a handful of people who even listen to the guy. Maybe I move in the wrong social circles. Or the right ones.
good stuff, hope to see more.
Why so many people in this country cling to a royal family is beyond my understanding - but rest assured that it is not everyone!
Still, with luck (really) this man will be made King causing the nation to end the institution in order to avoid the shame of it.
