Maybe these YB people can get together with the free-energy-powering-cars people to get the damn things up and running! :)

Have you checked out the YB webpage yet?

Yeesh! What a load of codswallop! This was the same crap I saw on that Bill Moyers "Healing & the Mind" years ago. Check out the videos; do these people really, really honestly believe that they're using the power of their mind to push their 'attackers' over?:rolleyes:
 
Maybe they actually work for the local tourist board and figure getting a celeb like JR (as seen on BBC!) is a good wheeze for attracting business?
Actually, I wonder if JR has heard about the famous Scottish Vanishing Psychic UFO Monsters of Auchnagatt??

Having watched it recently, the Moyers episode was similar, but nothing near what YB promises.

You must realize that the Moyers thing wasn't intended to be any scientific experiment in any sense?

With that said, I don't know exactly what it was intended to be.. :)

Moyers and the other guy (forget his name) did say it was pretty unbelievable, and that one of the guys looked like he was faking.

The rest of the Moyers episode was pretty well-rounded. The video was intended to be a survey of the types of 'alternative' healings out there, not an endorsement of any of them.
 
The codswollop I witnessed was shown in the Bill Moyers series; I'm not making any assertions on the series itself.

I do agree that Bill and his guide did express some reservations about what they were seeing. I particularly like the bit where the medical guide, who had studied acupuncture for a few years, admit that he had never felt the chi energy that others said that they had felt. I had taken Tai Chi classes a few years ago; in all the time I had been doing them, I never felt any 'energy' either. It was nice to see this same opinion echoed on a national television program.

Considering the resources of CSICOP, however, I'm wondering why there weren't any well-known skeptics commenting on camera about what they were seeing?

My opinions on TCM have ranged from "eccentric" to "rustic"; that changed a few months ago when the news story appeared with pictures about the bear 'farms' where the poor animals were continually 'milked' for their bile (prized for it's use in some TCM 'recipes'). Some of the bears were mauling themselves because of the terrible pain.

That just completely turned my stomach. If humans want to do their woo woo crap on each other, fine. But once you start torturing bears and cutting of the heads off chickens, that's just crossing one line to many for this particular skeptic.
 
I just viewed the Yellow people video and I'm still laughing. I mean, what acting!!!! :D


what the hell is going on in that snake bite video?:confused:

Really! Now, we Red Bamboo people...we have the True power!
 
The attackers video is the highest of high comedy. It is also the easiest thing in the world to test. What a bunch of idiots.
 
I only got half way through the snake bite video. It appeared to be a man holding another mans foot, whilst waving a joss stick. And the sound was pretty awful.


Why are the people who think they are pushing their attackers over all out of breath? And why haven't their attackers tried out as extras in Jackie Chan films? I bet the money is better.
 
Have you noticed that in almost all of those "attacks" the "attackers" start falling before the "person who is being attacked" even begins to use thier "positive energy" to "repel" them? All I can say is sign me up...

Mr. "Turquoise"
 
I especially like that they all start running at somebody from 40 feet away and then they slip in the mud. It seems like it'd be easy for even a moderately calm guy like me to just saunter over to one of them and sucker-punch him in the eye.
 
There's one video where one of the attackers falls over and then starts to get back up. Meanwhile, the person who knocked him over begins to use his 'power' to push him back down to the ground. It probably took about 10 seconds before the attacker noticed that the person was using the power and fell back down to the ground.

As with all paranormal powers, it sometimes takes a while for the power to work, sometimes days or even years.

Of course, sometimes with paranormal powers the effect of the power can precede the cause.
 
After I reviewed the yellow bamboo website, I was impressed enough to send the following email to them:

Dear sirs,
Here in the United States we are embarking on a very expensive missile defense system that would intercept incoming missiles from hostile nations and parties.

After reviewing your web site, it seems to me it might be cheaper to hire 50 of the best yellow bamboo practitioners and have them use the power of yellow bamboo to knock incoming missiles out of the sky. Do you think this would be feasible?

Here was their reply:

Yes. but given the vastness of the country you would need many more than 50.

Sincerely,

Yellow Bamboo Society

I want to say they have a sense of humor, but I'm not sure.

You made the mistake of assuming that they were not going to cheat.
 
These idiots tried to scam the JREF million from Randi with a crappy tape. A volunteer went to their camp and they shot a "test" in the dark. Of course, they won't actually let themselves be tested objectively.

They're superpowers really work, but only on each other and only if both parties are aware of the power being used. The ones being knocked down truly believe that the one shouting is using a power.. so they fall down. It's an idiometric affect. I'm thinking that if you blindfold them, and then told them that one of their masters was going to shout at them.. they'd fall, no matter who the shouter was (as long as the voices weren't too distinguishable).

It boggles the mind thinking what the D.O.D. film would look like.50 yellow bambooees standing in front of one of those test bunkers with the big circle and crosshair painted on it.Waving their arms in the air,when in superslow motion,a fully armed RAM missile enters the camera's vision.It slams into the bunker in a huge ball of flame.But where's the yellow bamboo guys?















ok,I know it's pretty sick,but what a test.
