The public's appetite for quackery and entertainment is surpassed only by its appetite for quack entertainment.

From the "Examples" gallery on Jackie Stallone's "Rumpology" site: "A Male Action Hero Movie Star". Hmm, wonder who that could be ...

Doesn't strike me as any more or less ridiculous than palm reading or phrenology. Then again, palm reading and phrenology both strike me as pretty ridiculous.

in re: Phrenology. A related "art," Physiognomy (the study of the face's meaning),

"influenced the descriptive abilities of many European novelists, notably Balzac; meanwhile, the 'Norwich connection' to physiognomy developed in the writings of Amelia Opie and the traveller and linguist George Borrow, besides a host of other nineteenth century English authors, notably the highly descriptive passages of characters and their physiognomical appearance in the novels of Charles Dickens and Thomas Hardy." (from the wikipedia link).

At least some quackery has uses.

I wonder if she's got a crap clause, you know, if she gets crapped on then they pay her some amount.

Because I'd be awfully tempted to unload something toxic on her and would like to know what kind of fines I might expect.

Quite possibly the most (I assume) unintentionally hilarious line:

"I can't imagine anyone wasting their time and money on someone like this when there are so many legitimate psychics out there," she said.

This is absurd, idiotic, pointless, and I can't wait to see it.

"The left cheek is the cheek of the future. The right cheek is the cheek of the present."

And in between the cheeks you will find what has passed.
