- Watching day time television, and seeing this "psychic" charlatan on some morning show explain to a viewer who had written in that a photo they had sent of a pregnant woman was being protected by ghosts. I yelled at the screen, "Its not a fucking ghost, its a fucking camera strap!" Of course, I do not think the respective parties heard me
.
This "psychic" then answered an elderly viewer's question if they would get over their undescribed illness soon. Do the show's producers not have any idea what consequences such an answer could lead to? EG: "Don't worry about what the doctor said. A psychic told me I'd be over this illness in a few weeks."
Frustrates me that astrologers, shoddy sales people, and all sorts get a free pass on these types of shows; taking advantage of the ignorant. I should get me some snake oil, and try and sell it too (they would probably let me), but I have myself a conscience.
The people who host these shows also make me feel sick. It was leaked recently they earn roughly $800,000 a year. I highly doubt they give a majority of that money to charity either, charities that they often promote on their shows. They're a fucking bunch of hypocrites. Then again, apparently a lot of charities are evil in themselves. The only charities I give to now are those with people I know who work in them, so that I have a fair idea where the money actually goes.
