I'll watch the vid when I'm on a stable computer.

But you are correct, "psychics" are a big frauds as televangelists.

Typically I don't let them get close enough to me to make the suck move.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

No fucking shit, I agree, they are merely new age con artists. 

Sylvia Brown didn't even predict her own death. 

And as much as I was a fan of 90210 Tory Spelling is today peddling a bullshit website "California Psychics". 

It would not bother me one bit if these aspiring cons would skip the con, and admit it is all a trick, like Penn and Teller admit to. I may hate Penn's economic views, but on claims of the super natural and "magic" he will admit there is no such thing, and it is simply a trick the mark is not in on.

Yeah, they suck. But it's always been supply and demand. You supply the gullibility and I'll supply whatever you need me to tell you...

No different to expensive face creams which ladies won't admit to buying. People are happy to pay for hope, not product.

CSI did an exhaustive debunking of Sylvia Browne :

The things she said to victim's families qualify her to be called evil.

I love watching James Randi debunk them right in front of people.

I always knew that 100% of psychics were retarded and 66.6666% were fraudulent. But I didn't know they suck. I am rather desperate so if you can give me the number of one maybe I can get a little release. Just make sure they're female and tasty, y'know?

I can't even get a suck myself, so you are out of luck.
