Anyone been to see John Edward?

Unsabraly Prediction

I just wanted to record this prediction here.

I predict that Mycroft will attempt to devine Sabra's use of the word demonstration. Mycroft will claim that Sabra meant to say that the Arab leage demonstrates when they meet for a cause.

The only way I would go see him is if he had a book signing. I would bring a Massengil box with me and friends to snap pics when I handed it to him to ask for his autograph on it :D

Thanks a lot! I almost snorted my Cherry Coke out of my nose on that post! :D
 
John Edward isn't too popular with me, probably because i'm unfortunate enough to have a mother who believes in that sorta stuff and its not uncommon for me to awake to the sound of his rubbish tv show.

A few years ago, back when his show was becoming popular in Australia, they had a story about it on a current affairs show (not sure which show) where a skeptic analysed the questions he asked during Crossing Over, and asked random people on the street those same questions, the majority were able to find a link between the stuff John Edward says on his tv show and their family.. I guess if you try hard enough, John Edward is always right. In my books that makes him a crook, doing nothing else but making money out of grieving families.
 
Even Montel only has the standard agreement thing he has for every show when Sylvia is on. At least, so far.

When recounting the event to friends later, she'll say, "He even knew we had a dog named Boomer! There's no way he could have known that!"

That's why anecdotes aren't evidence.

I saw exactly that shown on a UK TV show about 20-odd years ago. It was a program on mediums and one medium was filmed in a session with a woman. Part of it went like this:
MEDIUM: "I'm getting the name Joey here. Does that mean anything to you?"
WOMAN: "...No, I don't think so...."
MEDIUM: "...Or maybe a Joe...?
WOMAN: "Oh yes, now I remember! My niece had a baby last month and she's calling him Joe!"
The woman was then filmed outside the medium's house, talking about it to a friend: "And you know what? She even knew the name of my niece's new baby? How could she have guessed that?"
It's unfortunate that the presenter didn't then break in to tell her that the medium hadn't done anything of the sort.
