Why would they need to advertise?

I've come into 'domicile-ville' town centre, for some lunch, a couple of beers, and some shopping - I didn't, for once, feel up to a day out in London, even though it's my last day off for a week and a half. On the way, I spotted a couple of adverts for a 'psychic fair' next week. If their 'product' was genuine, surely the ads are completely superfluous? They could simply 'broadcast' the details into the ether, and everyone who might be interested would turn up at the appropriate time and place. Wouldn't they?

Love & best wishes to all

  1. HAHAHAHAHA! I love it! I knew all about it! Does that mean I'm psychic? I think not, cause I'm lying through my teeth.

    It amazes me how many people actually believe in that crap, and pay good money for "readings". Read my ass, you frauds.

    Peace <3

      As clichés go, the one about fools and their money being easily parted is one of the more accurate! As long as there are people who want to believe, then there will be charlatans willing to fleece them. What does that remind me of? Oh yeah, organised religion.

      There are parapsychological phenomena I'd like to believe in - The Chrysalids is one of my favourite books, and I'd love to be able to communicate in the way the young people in that story do, but, sadly, there seems to be neither any evidence nor even any kind of plausible mechanism for a way it could work in reality. On the whole, though, the subject is awash with fraud and quackery, and, unfortunately, gullible victims.
