I Heard A Rumor That Mythbusters Is Rigged. Is This Really True?
@Five Star,
While I have my reservations about their "scientific" methods, I fail to see how they would benefit in any way by deliberately skewing the results.
@rosborne979,
What purose would rigging the outcome of an experiment be if they invite people to write in and comment?
@Five Star,
no, they had a robotic kids award in 2007 and the kids realyl went to the studio in LA, California
@kitanahouck,
Robotic kids? That sounds cool!
Can they be programmed to clean their freakin' room?

@Five Star,
I dont see how it could be, especially when you can duplicate some of their experiments at home.
"Mythbusters" rigged? That all depends on what you mean by "rigged."
If you mean that it is somehow corrupt, or that its tests are not conducted in an honest or scientifically scrupulous manner, then my best guess is that "Mythbusters" isn't rigged.
On the other hand, if you mean that "Mythbusters" often conducts what I would consider to be inappropriate tests that don't really address the "myths," either in the interests of ratings, economy, or expediency, or that they frequently arrive at seemingly conclusive answers that are not supported by the results of those tests, then I think you can say that "Mythbusters" is rigged.
@dadpad,
if you didn't care, how did you find this link?
@teabagged,
Er, I guess some of us just browse around till we find an interesting looking topic.
Or a really goofy one . . .
