Brent’s Thoughts

Taken from bash.org:

<Nukleon> the greek “hell” was cold
<Nukleon> like the norse
<@amz> the christian hell is also pretty cold, compared to its heaven
<Nukleon> uh
<Nukleon> wut?
<Nukleon> heaven is bliss
<@amz> it has liquid sulfur in it, so it can’t be over 400 celsius… on the other hand, the bible describes the sun in heaven shining like 7 suns, each 7 times as bright
<@amz> which gives an estimate of 2000-3000 celsius

That was just too interesting. I had to post it.

Yet another fully documented case of Sylvia Browne’s failure. As has been the case with all the previous ones, she did a reading on Montel that should thought could never be proven wrong, except it was… again.

Sylvia Browne’s screwup

Again, she failed to get anything right and again she causes terrible distress on her victim. This time though the poor woman goes to her death thinking that her daughter is a drugged stripper and wastes her life running around trying to find her. Of course the reality is that her daughter had been found and buried for years before Sylvia told her she was still alive. Sadly the body wasn’t identified until later after her mothers death.

And people say that listening to her is just harmless fun. It seems that yet again, she did more harm than providing any fun.

Last night I was watching an episode of 1 vs 100 that MythTV had recorded and was greeted by famed “psychic” Allison Dubois on the show. Many people know her as the supposed inspiration for the TV show “Medium”.

She was in the mob and given her “abilities” I expected to have to wait for a long time for her to miss a question. She was out on the second question. She did last one question longer than Dr. Ruth though.

They allowed her to come back in so she could win some more money for her “charity” when the next contestant came out. This time she was a little better and lasted until the 5th or 6th question. Still not that great of a showing in my opinion for someone that can supposedly see the future, read minds or whatever the hell she claims to do.

Pauline tried to cop out for her and say that she probably didn’t want to use the gift on the show. Why not? She was playing for some charity. What better reason than to win money to help a charity? Is her psychic gift limited to only a few usages? If so it doesn’t seem like she would be wasting it on one-on-one phone readings for money, when she could use it once and win tons on the show.

This isn’t the only time that 1 vs. 100 has had psychics on. Another time they had like six of them in the mob. They were all out within 3 questions, if I remember correctly. Not a very good showing for these supposed psychics. I guess it is hard to cold read a multiple choice question that you have to answer without being able to see anyones thoughts on it.

Caught again being a fraud. I really wonder if she thinks the Montel Show is a good thing after all these.

This time not only was she wrong about every aspect of the disappearance that she was talking about, she also failed to spot the killer in the very room with her.

Perhaps “Francine” her spirit guide didn’t undestand the question or something. Wouldn’t it be great if she had to go on the show and explain exactly how what she said could be interpreted when faced with reality.

Sylvia Browne is a fraud.

and so is every other psychic on the planet.

The comments in the post about Laser Solutions made me think about the fact that I have never mentioned Homeopathy on here.

This might be one of the best things about YouTube. People can now catch these screw ups by people like Sylvia Browne and put them out there for everyone, with no denying that they said it.

Again Montel tries to help her out, and again she just keeps screwing up and tells the parents that they are wrong. She tells them, “I don’t care.” when they try to tell her about the medical evidence of their daughters death. I would again recommend that the parents slap her in the face. The one good thing is that it doesn’t look like the father believes in her at all. He is just along for the ride.

I have been concerned about the recent advertising on WBKO for Laser Solutions in Bowling Green. I understand that they are a customer of WBKO for commercial time, but I feel that WBKO as a responsibility to not promote poor services and products. Laser Solutions provides a poor service that is only out to take money away from your viewers in the Bowling Green area.

Laser Solutions promotes a service which uses Lasers to “stimulate” Acupuncture points on the body in an effort to help patients stop smoking. There are several problems with this. The first and most obvious problem is that Acupuncture has never been shown to help anyone with any problem, including stopping smoking. The American Medical Association has been quoted as saying the following about acupuncture and its ilk,

“There is little evidence to confirm the safety or efficacy of most alternative therapies. Much of the information currently known about these therapies makes it clear that many have not been shown to be efficacious. Well-designed, stringently controlled research should be done to evaluate the efficacy of alternative therapies.”

So even if it was just an Acupuncture it would still be of poor value to your viewers. To then add the use of Lasers to stimulate these points on the body is adding poor science fiction on to the top of poor medicine.

The web is full of information about this shoddy and incorrect service. A simple search for information on it reveals that the only people who are out promoting it are the people that are selling it. There is no scientific community that backs it and there is no evidence of its usefulness.

Please remove this scam from your advertising and from your news broadcasts, because there is nothing valid or news worthy about it. Your viewers in the Bowling Green area look to your station as a validation for things like this and I am sure that because of the segment on Midday Live today there will be several customers show up to Laser Solutions. It is unfortunate that when they leave Laser Solutions the only thing they will have gotten from them is a lighter wallet.

Thank You for your time,

DJ posted something about this psychic predicting Jon Karr. I was on there arguing that the picture wasn’t even close. You can read my comments there.

Of course now it has come out that he didn’t have anything to do with it, he is just a disturbed person who wanted his 15 minutes of fame. So yet again, even if the picture was of him exactly, it is still wrong. So I wonder if the “psychic” will come out and say that they are a fraud and that is was completely wrong of them to do this.

Maybe all of the “psychics” will stop ambulance chasing and media whoring and let people get on with their lives. Ok well probably not.

Also why is the media still got a hard on for this guy? Now since they can’t show him as the REAL murderer they are going “in depth” about why he would want to do this and how he knew so much about it. Even one of their expert lawyers came on GMA this morning as was like “Why are you still talking about this? There is all kinds of stuff in New Orleans that needs talked about and you are still on this?”

Everyone. He is disturbed. He wanted the attention (which you all gave him). He found out about the stuff from the books and reports that have all been written about it. It isn’t that hard to figure out.
