And allegedly wanted $700 per half-hour for her trouble.
It’s Sylvia Browne. Of course.

Browne is a total con artist. All of these psychics are.

Noooooooooooo!!!!!

She knew you would say that, of course.

Miss Cleo will haunt your dreams until eternity for this blasphemy!

I predict more of the same from Sylvia. My predictions are free of course, and generally more accurate than the professionals. (I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last nite)

I knew that psychic would be wrong! I had a premonition!
That’ll be $700 please, people…

Is there anyone lower than a charlatan who tells the worried parents of a lost child that her child is dead? And to do this for an easy buck?
I mean besides Nancy Pelosi!

Why don’t psychics EVER win the lottery? Answer: because they’re all FRAUDS.

Although this is Montel. But it could be Oprah, or Dr. Phil, or Side Show Bob, take yer pick.

Bottom feeder.

That was painful to watch because the look on the woman’s face basically said, “I believed in you, but, whoa, was I wrong.”
Editor on January 19, 2007 at 7:12 PM
I always think of her as a chain smoking drunk.
Pam on January 19, 2007 at 7:30 PM
Montel is as much a sham as this broad is. If his program had any legitimacy he would have sh**canned this hoaxer after her 1st bogus appearance instead of having her on again and again. He’s on the same rung as Springer and “yes, you are the daddy” Povitch. All of them wantabe Oprahs. Change the channel and watch a cartoon, you’ll be better off in life.

Give her number to Bush. Maybe she can find his gumballs and Bush will do something about illegal immigration and change the rules of engagement in Iraq. Might also help him find some leadership.

Hey, don’t make jokes. She found my not dead body for me and it was worth the $2,800. It’s a little embarrassing, though. Turns out it was right under my nose all the time. Don’t ya just hate that?
GPE on January 19, 2007 at 7:52 PM
You suppose Rosie consults her?
JammieWearingFool on January 19, 2007 at 8:06 PM
That attention whore was on Art Bell alot, then she slithered away.
What a fraud..

I predict that someday he’ll be dead. It’s all in the timing.
RedWinged Blackbird on January 19, 2007 at 8:29 PM
Like Madam Cleo said… “You’d think I would of seen this one coming…”

Am I the only one who’s fantasized (k, that sounds gayer than it should) about going to a taping of one of the shows by someone like John Edward or that other clown who claims to be able to talk to the dead, with a ficticious dead person in mind and get them to tell you all the things they think you want to hear before you scream “I made it up! In yo face bit**”. Okay, you might say something else, but that’s probably how I’d do it.
RightWinged on January 19, 2007 at 8:49 PM
I always have to laugh when I watch these clairvoyant con-artists go through their exhausting telepathic conundrums.
It’s always “I see the letter H”, “Did you have an uncle with a black dog?”, “I keep getting the number 23 for some reason”, “Did your mother like limburger cheese?”, always trying to take little bits and pieces of information and then magically name the entity who’s voice they, and only they can hear.
I’ll never buy this crapola, but they might be a tad more convincing if they provided detailed information without the cryptic observations and inquiries. Just one time I’d like to hear, “I’m talking to your Uncle Henry who died last month, and he just wanted to tell you that the stock certificates he left you in his will weren’t authentic, and you’re not going to get a red cent you little #$@@$#&*”.
“Yup, that’s exactly what he said”.
Ya gotta be gullible to buy into this horsehockey, sort of like buying into the news as presented by the MSM. Hey, wait a minute, that happens ALL the time.

I have a proposal for anyone who thinks they can talk to the dead. I rode with my brother for about 20 minutes on a highway in the Flint Hills of KS, not too long before he was killed by a drunk driver. Nobody else was in the car, and no one else knows about our conversation. I remember vividly one particular part of that conversation that I have never shared with any other person, living or dead. And I doubt that he told anyone about the conversation either.
So if you’re really a psychic, you’ll be able to tell me about that conversation. I’ll be able to ask a question that only my brother could answer. I am certain that no one will ever be able to answer the question.
The Monster on January 20, 2007 at 12:25 AM
And with that I laughed out loud, so either that was funny or I need a nap; maybe both.
MirCat on January 20, 2007 at 12:37 AM
Yea!!! my chance to use my new all purpose liar’s clip :)

What?? Damn, does anybody know if I can get my money back from Ceasar’s in Las Vegas for a bet on Sunday’s championship games?
Rick on January 20, 2007 at 2:16 AM
If psychics were really clairvoyant, why didn’t they see the bankruptcy coming?
Black Adam on January 20, 2007 at 2:59 AM
Reminds me of the USA show about a fake psychic. I know, fake psychic is a bit of an oxymoron, but the show, Psych, is funny.

Call me for your
free$700 readin’!Wa-hoo! First post!

“Call me for your

Viewtifulgare on January 20, 2007 at 9:19 AM
In the first season of Pen and Tellers show *BS* they did an episode on these psychic con artists, and also talked with their mentor in this department,the Amazing Randi, who is a great guy who been fighting against these charlatans for years. Check it out but be warned: Pen is a cusser.

Silvia’s a phony, but I do believe we all have some level of ESP. On the morning of 9/11, I was in bed sleeping (I worked the night shift the day before) and I was having a very vivid dream that I was standing up in the aisle of an airplane way in the back where the aft galley ends and the aisle begins, looking to the front of the plane. All of a sudden I’m thrown forward as if the plane came a sudden and complete stop. I jumped up out of bed, panting, heart racing, thinking “What the hell was THAT all about?” (I usually don’t even remember my dreams, let alone have one stand me up next to my bed) so I run downstairs and flip on the TV just in time to see the second plane hit the Twin Towers. Coincidence?
Tony737 on January 20, 2007 at 10:04 AM
What the heck is UP with her hands?
tikvah on January 20, 2007 at 10:16 AM
Sylvia’s “claws” are well known. Take a better look at the logo for the site Allah linked to: http://stopsylviabrowne.com/
Classic.
nosliwelyk on January 20, 2007 at 10:53 AM
I like how Montel tries to bail her out in that clip. Wouldn’t want his guest to make an ass out of herself, now would we?
Seixon on January 20, 2007 at 11:07 AM
Oh my my my… Now that is funny!
Fandango on January 20, 2007 at 12:51 PM
My ESP wasn’t enough so I decided to get ESPN2. This is a woman who would ask where the survivors would be buried if a plane crashed on the American/Canadien border…
ritethinker on January 20, 2007 at 7:33 PM
I believe these so-called psychics become expert at reading “facial expressions”. The FBI and CIA teaches special agents this technique.
