Sylvia Brown?

Just curious anyone read her books and have any opinions as to them?

Jimmy

If you mean Sylvian Browne, the woman is a sham and a con artist who preys on the grieving and mentally weak. I have nothing but contempt for her and her ilk.

so... what do you think?

personally, i've never heard of her.
but i do wanna start a "sylvia saint?" or "sylvia plath?" parody.
i'm leaning away from it though.

Why do you think she is a sham and con artist?

Jimmy

my mom and husband both "believe in" her, I guess if that's what you call it. blah.
I like when she gently bites the tips of her long fingernails while she's thinking. someone should post a video of that...

I can't believe people buy this shit.

Wow. People are fucking dumb.

She's a fucking hack like all "psychics" are hacks. She makes excessively vagues predictions that can be interpreted in many ways so that it's harder for her to be wrong. People naturally (and unintentionally) forgive the many misses she makes and focus on the few hits, as stretched as they may be.

She's a con artist out to make money from people dumb enough to believe her. People like Sylvia Browne are worms.

But she teaches at the Learning Annex and has a regular spot on the Montel Williams show. Doesn't that qualify her as one of the great minds of our time?

"This year, people will die. There will be natural disasters. The President will do something someone doesn't like."

Give me money bitches.

wait, that's all i've had to do this entire time? fuck!

"You are... unhappy about... something. You would like to be happier about... something else. You have worked, or will work, or would like to work, or don't want to work. You know something about work. You may or may not eat toast this year..."

Sylvia, I just wanted to know if I'll meet my soul mate...

I accept cash, Paypal and company cheques.

Yeah, I've read the one about contacting your spirit guide, and I feel 100% dumber for having read it.

hell, i feel dumb to have read that you have read it. that's like...dumb in the third person.

Sylvia Brown, Predictions for the year 2006
#23 Aliens will reveal themselves in 2010.
I guess she's so good that in 2006 she's predicting her 2010 predictions.
Depending on which aliens she's referring to, she may already be correct. You cynics.

I can't even tie my own shoes anymore. Her literature has really destroyed my life.

oh, the irony.

Your dead relatives don't want to talk to you.

They barely talked to me when they were alive.

*snif* God I love this messageboard...
