I was appalled at the ad for the new season of Long Island Medium. The recent promo has her talking to a mom and her kid, and the boy is welling up with tears. Isn't this a form of child abuse?
 
Likely. Scaring a child with "boogeymen". But more likely the whole family is being abused.
 
I saw that add last night - thoroughly revolting, should be criminal.
 
I do not have words to convey the disgust I feel at viewing this despicable human being exploiting grief in such a cavalier manner.

"I'm not out to prove anything?" she claims.

No, you're just out for attention and all the money you can bilk. You suck.

I think I caught a few seconds of that promo. Did she really say to the kid that "your dad called you buddy"? Wow, went out on a limb with that one, didn't she.
 
What amuses me when I see that commercial of her talking to that kid, she says, "Your Father called you buddy", and the kid looks so amazed, but the fact is a lot of children get called buddy, so nothing so remarkable about that.
 
The commercial, for anyone who hasn't seen it...

I was listening to TV on headphones & not looking at the picture when I heard that ad - she was talking to a kid? Awful.

(I like wireless headphones so I can listen to things like the science channel or live trials while doing housework, at, gardening...)
 
I really wish I had the funds to start a StopCaputo website.

It might be noted she lives in the much wealthier part of long island where people tend to waste a bit more on woo woo.

Either way the woman disgusts me.

How about "Did he say 'I love you more?' "

What kind of half-assed cold-reading cliched crap is that? The grieving of course will hang on to any sort of dreck; she's a calculating cold-hearted . . . fill in the c-word of your choice.

Christ I hate this person.
 
Ugh. I've seen it too and I just hate it. Besides the really stupid guesses that dad called him buddy (what loving dad doesn't call his kid buddy?) and said I love you more (what parent doesn't play that game in recent years) she asks if Dad ever had a "This is my name" sticker on his chest, and is presented with a picture, in a stand-up frame, of him with the sticker. Wanna bet that frame was standing in an obvious place in the house? This isn't even mediocre cold reading, it's terrible.
 
If you noticed she never told the kid anything, all she did is ask him questions. Every time I see her on the tube I want to throw something at it. :mad:

Agreed. Absolutely terrible. :mad:
 
I felt like throwing my shoe at the TV the first time I saw this ad. How can people not see through this nonsense? Did he say "I love you more?" Of course he did. Everyone says that.

How abserd. No. It's not child abuse.
 
Makes me want to go all Elvis on my tv.
If I ever win the lottery, I'm going to buy a closet full of extra tvs, just so I can.

TV: Tonight on "Long Island Medium"....Real psychics!

Mac: (BLAM!!!!......BLAM! BLAM! BLAM!) Jeebes! I need another tv!

Jeebes: Sir, that's your 3rd one tonight, might I suggest you change it off TLC?
