RSLancastr from the JREF forum has set up a site to refute some of popular US TV psychic Sylvia Browne's claims.

The site is www.stopsylvia.com, it's under construction but will be very interesting when it's fully flowing if his stopkaz efforts are anything to go by.

Ugh, I just caught the end of Montel today and a girl asked her for advice because she had just selected her majors at university, and everyone around her was advising her to change her choices, and do other things. Sylvia said "and I want you to go into therapy". She then leaned back and sucked her teeth while this girl kind of floundered there for a second, saying "Oh? oh, right" and looking thoroughly confused.

She began to say something, but then Sylvia leaned back in her chair and joked with the audience "that was easy, eh?" and then she made some terrible (imo) comment about how he (I assume the therapist) could probably use the client.

Then they left her hanging and started talking to someone else!

How the hell was that supposed to be remotely useful or helpful to this poor girl?

I was putting an entry together for the commentary for September earlier today so as soon as the website kicks off properly we'll have some support for it.

Sylvia is fairly well known here so it's worth covering it not only to support the site but from a UK interest as well.

I have offered my support to this site, and offered a few articles/videos from my site.

Does anyone know which day she appears on Monetl in the UK.
If you do I can make sure to record it and then look out for cock ups

I don't know Jon, but ITV2 show a lot of this trash TV.

Montel is on ITV2 every day before Judge Judy - around 5ish for Montel. Sylvia is not always guaranteed to be on, however, but I try to catch it if I get in early enough, mainly because I am interested in seeing the episode (not with Sylvia) where Kelly Jabrowski makes her appearance to highlight the plights of missing adults.

If you get forewarning Chilly, please let us know when it's on.

[JonDonnis]

Yes if anyone gets noticeshe is on please let me know.
I usually record Richard & Judy ince there is any mainstream UK psychic on there, so I cant blindly record Montel and its not repeated.

Oh how i wish i could afford a twin tuner PVR

Quick heads-up, Robert Lancaster now has the site up and running. Nice work.

"The family also claims the psychic then tried to cash in, which Browne vigorously denies."

Surprise, surprise.

ETA:
Oops, just seen the big splash over on the JREF site, should have expected that.

There is much more up on the 'stop sylvia' site now, including info about a previous conviction she has - for fraud :o

[asthmatic camel]

Ohhhhhhh! Perfect! I'd just love to see Sylvia in court over this.

[Mongrel]

She's getting a bit pissy about it though

I think Rob Lancaster has done a great job of using Sylvia's own words to incriminate herself.

I see there's a solicitor's letter moaning about her trademarked name being used but if that's the best she can come up with (which isn't much) it suggests that they've looked at Rob's site and can't find anything to sue him over.

He'll be fine as long as he sticks to the truth.
