Pat Robertson = MORON extraordinaire

according to the latest news and blogs, the man, in all of his evangelical idiocy, has stated on that stupid 700 club show that the earthquake that just ravaged haiti was due to their "pact with the devil".

oh no -- i can just see this as a new "paranormal state" episode:
exorcism of earthquake-ravaged haitians.

i know that sounds horrendously trite in the face of this tragedy, but judging from most of the shows they've made this is exactly the kind of thing PRS and the production company which films them goes for: tragedy and trauma = paranormal happenings and/or demons. perhaps they'll let pat robertson in on the paranormal action. probably not, he likely wouldn't get along with chip.

cause he's a psychic, for one reason.

if you'd like to help provide aid to haiti in a fast, easy manner you can go through wycleff jean's charity by texting “Yele” to 501501, which will automatically donate $5 to the Yele Haiti Earthquake Fund (it will be charged to your cell phone bill)

A$E is at it again with more "Paranormal State" and "Psychic Kids" episodes

i have not bothered to watch even one of the new episodes of either show but i see that the good funny folk over at "television without pity" are keeping up with the hilarity.

i hope the contributors there will forgive me for not attaching individual attributions to these, but here are some highlights of the latest PS episode's discussion:

Sex dungeon. Chip blindfolded in the sex dungeon. HEEEEEE!!!!!!!

I wish there were real demons, because I'd like to see one bitch smack the fat guy.

Chip was in a blindfold. In a sex dungeon. I can't believe someone didn't strap him to the cross.

I am convinced that at some point in his life, someone told Ryster,"Hey dude, you kind of sound like a girl". Something about his faux deep voice screams overcompensation

And sometimes, we are warriors.... who plant trees. And salt the earth.....we are warriors. We are gardeners. We are furniture movers.

Let's smudge it! Poor Elfie just wanted to jump in on that action, but i don't think she qualified as a real smudger to the Penobscot. "No weally, I can thmudge it. My pawenths are witcheth".

Came for the shared mockery of the Haunted Sex Dungeon (SERIOUSLY, A&E?) and everyone's favorite scream queen, leaving satisfied.

Boy-pushing ghosts! Sex toys! Chip screaming when he touches said toy!

Honestly? This show makes me want to kill my tv.

Ryan has become as much of a drama queen as Chip. "You all laughed, you're not taking this seriously, I'm taking my Amazon.com holy water and special limited edition exorcism book and going home!!!"

And was that Elfie with the goggles? What was she going to do, go to an Elton John concert when PRS was done investigating?

Elfie has gone steampunk!

2010 and Still with the psychics...
