John Edward has been required under the (Oz) Fair Trading Act to prove he talks with the dead or admit his show is a scam.

The fellow bringing the claim is another who bothers the dead, but who styles himself "entirely without psychic powers".

  • He already admits it. People just don't pay attention.
  • I think making refunds available to those who believe they were misled by the show's promotion would be something of a new development.
  • This guy makes me positively ILL. Another reason I don't watch daytime television, he's on every damn day. I don't agree with refunding money, however. It's all about entertainment. If people choose to believe he is really talking to the dead, that's their problem.
  • This show bothers me because it's base exploitation. Pimping out peoples memories of loved ones for advertising revenue. That's one sick dude..
  • Anyone seen the John Edward episode of South Park? He gets completely taken down by Stan and then wins the Biggest Douche in the Universe contest.
