Feng Shui is Bullshit! – It’s not scientific!

Some of the things I have gathered from the “Penn & Teller: Bullshit! Show” on the absurdity of Feng Shui are as follow:

Feng Shui is an ancient Chinese science of improving energy or Qi by rearranging furniture. (They didn’t have that many furniture in the olden days back in China. IKEA was not born yet.)

Most things have clues but Feng Shui doesn’t have a clue or proof. (Right on!)

Feng Shui is energy or Qi playing a cosmic game of musical chairs. (You mean Qi gets so tired from traveling it has to fight for a chair and sit down?)

Qi is like a moving, bouncing, travelling yellow ball. (Are you sure Qi is yellow in colour?)

Qi is life force energy; it’s what the molecules are made out of. (Molecules are made of Qi? That’s new!)

If Feng Shui is really science, then the advice should be all the same. (Right on again!)

Feng Shui is a reliable and predictable way of looking at what energy really is. (Are you sure? What instruments do we use to determine that? Our eyes?)

KEEP THE PATHWAY CLEAR! What good is wealth and success if you die in a fire? (At least you get toasted in style!)

Red colour represents fire. Too much fire can cause problems with the teeth, mouth, jaw and chest area. Red is accident prone. Red is bad! (So are we all on fire since our blood is red?! No wonder we’re all so bad!)

Energy from the front and back of the house requires red colour in the middle of the house. (So now energy knows how to recognize colours! What next?)

If Feng Shui is a real science, how could it be so inconsistent? (You may ask that again!)

Feng Shui is not a religion. (So is it spiritual? Hmmm…)

Feng Shui is common sense. (Yeah! The sense is so common it makes people stupid!)

Feng Shui can create good health, wealth and prosperity for you and your family. (Ok. But how the heck do you do that?)

Most ‘Feng Shui-ed’ people in China are dirt poor! (No comment!)

Some people are making money from this bullshit! (You mean they make money from selling bullshit? Ya!)

Creative scumbags! (You’re right again! Not left!)

Feng Shui is something visual which you can see. (Well, I must be blind!)

Feng Shui is an ancient mathematical calculation that was derived and developed through centuries of imperial observations. (Huh! What’s that again in layman term? Talk to me like a 10-year old please)

It is so stupid. (Who? You or me? We? Ok! Right buddy!)
