I was browsing my facebook feed earlier and came across a post that a friend of mine 'liked.' It was Theresa Caputo announcing the return of her show 'Long Island Medium.' 
Now, as a science-minded skeptical kind of guy, I immediately feel a little offended by the amount of support there is for this kind of insanity. I posted a comment that said something about how fooling grieving people into believing you can talk to their dead loved ones is sick. This was met immediately with "you don't believe cause you've never seen her" and other really insightful comments like "go away..." I made another comment about capitalizing on the clouded minds of grief stricken people and then left it alone.
I went back later to browse some of the comments and I was blown away by how many people are commenting positively and believe in her! It really saddens me to see so many people believing so blindly, many of them with their wallets already out!
I find this really frustrating. What say you?
