John Edward to contact Steve Irwin

[The Shank]

From the article:
"TERRI Irwin says she is "open" to receiving a message from the spirit of her late husband, Croc Hunter Steve, when an American psychic medium visits Australia Zoo next month."

Crikey!

To Edward: Creep! Don't trot Irwin's name out unless there's a large donation to conservation at the end of it. Give the guy some respect and let him rest in peace.

Having expressed my opinion, I feel better. I find it hard to believe anyone could be friends with John Edward, at least if his TV personality is his real one. He's so slimy and smarmy it'd be like being friends with a jar of grape jelly.

If someone wants to contact her this is the contact page for Australia Zoo. Please let us know if you have done so.

Boy oh boy... I agree ... how in the heck could anyone with any morals, objectivity and plain common sense be friends with a creep like Edward? It amazes me how rude he is to people concerning their dead loved ones. It amazes me too how people eat this crap up like it's the real thing.

No I think A Current Affair has is beaten for that

maybe, but only just.

Fortunately for my blood pressure, I missed the show. Was it a total hack job?

 

[Damien Evans]

Crikey!

It was only a matter of time...

I also seem to recall that it is much more difficult for "psychics" to make a living in Australia?

I guess that depends on where you are. Maybe it's easier in the Deep North.

By the way, has 7 shown their "report"? And did they find that he was "man of steel" (I refuse to use the specific words in reference to TT or Edward so I'll use the Butexansh equivalent)?

No idea, I was watching Sponge Bob Square Pants - I prefer my television a little more high brow than what is served up at 6.30pm on the free to air channels

Seven had an interview with one of the least-scientific scientists, Gary Schwartz - of Edward/Browne fame. They trotted out the "psychics scored 75 - 80% success" psycho babble. Completely uncritical - as you expected of TT.

I think Terri needs help. She appears to be slow falling apart whenever I've seen her interviewed. I understand how traumatic the death of a spouse can be, but I still wonder if she has a history of mental illness of some kind.

Does John Edward ever attempt to channel dead people? I'd be interested to hear him try an Australian accent.

 

[Big Les]

Nah, he's one of the new breed of ultra-low-risk mediums who do nothing but cold reading and amateur grief counselling. No floating trumpets or Elvis possessions there.

Oh yeah. Does anyone know if there is a copy of the thing online?

If only the Chaser boys weren't on a break right now...

Haha, I love that site! Also do a Google search for "lolcat bible"!!

That's incredibly sad for Terri Irwin. I just hope that some Aussie manages to contact John Edward with a good left hook.

From what I've seen of Americans attempting Australian, a Cockney accent serves just as well as it is apparently indistinguishable to them.

Because we all know that Australians sound like those people pushing flower carts in the East End.

 

[Diagoras]

This is very dissapointing.

It looks like they are going to feature it on some current afairs show on channel 7 in australia, where john edwards has apparently been "tested by scientests" (no doupt in an unscientific way).

Just to clear things up, John Edward is the fake psychic and John Edwards is a politician. The chief difference, remember, is that politicians only lie some of the time.

 

[Smiledriver]

Jeez he'll no doubt contact Steve and be able to convey very specific details about his life...that are probally widely available to anyone with an internet connection.

I seem to recall similar silliness in a "reading" of a boyhood hero of mine: Bret "Hitman" Hart. This douchebag basically was able to reveal stuff about the Hart family that could only be known by pretty much every casual pro-wrestling fan on the planet. Shocking!!!!
