It Takes Only a Few Seconds to Piss Someone Off
May 24, 2006
Penn & Teller followed a family member into the “Family Room” located in an office building near ground zero. A sign on the door says “no press”—so being magicians, mimes, and all-purpose entertainers, P&T thought all was well. Nope. Shots from inside the hallowed room aired on May 1 and the families are pissed off.
“That’s a very sacred place to the families…especially the families who lost loved ones who were never identified,” said Jack Lynch, whose son was killed.
Glenn Alai, spokesmen for the comics expressed sympathy and dismay. The footage in question, he explained, amounted to only a few seconds of a 30-minute piece that was entirely sympathetic to the families.
