the Straight Dope on psychics
Blasting health fraud Kevin Trudeau last week reminded me of TV psychic and douche John Edward (regarding his homepage pic, is he a refugee from a boy band?). If you ever wondered how he and other psychics, particularly on television, fool people, here's the Straight Dope on it.
To be fair I think Trudeau is much worse than Edward and should win the next "Biggest Douche in the Universe" award hands down. People who waste time trying his bogus "natural cures" may die as a result. A fake reading from John Edward isn't going to kill someone.
In other news, President Chavez of Venezuela said he might even ask for the extradition of US televangalist Pat Robertson for calling for Chavez's assassination last week. A poll from the Bureau of SIPOMABHAT* found that 93% of Americans said, "Great! You can have have him! And while we're at it, would you like Jerry Falwell too?"
* Statistics I Pulled Out of My Ass But Hope Are True
